US missile deployment in Philippines undermines peace

TEHRAN, Sep. 30 (MNA) – Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the US deployment of intermediate-range missiles in the Philippines "undermines regional peace and stability", the foreign ministry said on Sunday.

Speaking to South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul in New York on Saturday, Wang also called for avoiding "war or chaos on the Korean Peninsula", the ministry said in a post on its website, Reuters reported.

The US deployed the Typhon system, which can be equipped with cruise missiles capable of striking Chinese targets, this year. China has demanded its removal, and Russia has joined in condemning the first deployment of the system to the Indo-Pacific, blaming Washington for fueling an arms race.

Wang said the deployment "is not in the interests of regional countries".
