U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent visit to Taiwan is part of a deliberate U.S. strategy to destabilise the  region, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday.

He said that the visit wasn’t just by one politician, but was part of an underlying strategy.

“The U.S. was seeking to destabilise the situation in the Asia-Pacific region and the whole world,’’ Putin said duing his speech at the 10th annual Moscow Conference on International Security.

Putin called the move a brazen demonstration of disrespect for the sovereignty of other countries and for international obligations and a carefully planned provocation.

Speaking at the opening of the conference on Tuesday, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu similarly said that Pelosi’s provocative landing in Taiwan was yet another step to destabilise the region. (Xinhua/NAN)
