China will continue to firmly support Central Asian countries in safeguarding their independence and territorial integrity, its foreign ministry said, after a senior Chinese envoy in Europe raised an uproar by questioning the sovereignty of those states.
"China will, as always, firmly support Central Asian countries in safeguarding national sovereignty, independence, security and territorial integrity," the ministry quoted Foreign Minister Qin Gang as saying on Wednesday.
"China firmly supports Central Asian countries in choosing their own development paths in light of their national conditions," Qin said, adding that it opposes any external interference in their internal affairs.in Europe when, in a French TV interview on April 21, he questioned the sovereignty of Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia last year, and five other ex-Soviet republics.
The Chinese foreign ministry distanced itself from Lu's remarks on Monday, and Beijing's embassy in Paris issued a statement saying Lu's comments "were not a political declaration but an expression of his personal views".
