China always believes that cooperation between countries should not target any third party or harm the interests of any third party, neither should such cooperation undermine regional peace and stability, a foreign ministry spokesperson said on Friday.

Spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the remarks at a daily press briefing when asked to comment on a defense pact reportedly signed between Japan and the Philippines aimed at enhancing mutual assistance in military logistics.
