US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called for the restructuring of international co-operation, noting that the United Nations had failed in resolving conflicts.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Rubio noted that Washington wants allies that can defend themselves so well that enemies will be too scared to attack, having earlier accused other Western nations of being too frightened to fight for themselves.
Earlier, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said China and the EU should properly manage their differences and hoped that Europe would pursue a rational and pragmatic policy towards China.
Ukraine, Arctic security and China’s relationship with the West are all topics expected to crop up at the summit.
