Ex-NATO head calls for greater global cooperation

Countries should work together for a better future in today's world that is globalized and multipolar, Javier Solana, former secretary-general of NATO, said in an interview with China Daily.

"I'm afraid sometimes, without cooperation, what comes out is confrontation," said Solana, who is currently president of the ESADE Center for Global Economy and Geopolitics of Spain.

The senior politician and diplomat expressed concerns over the trade frictions between China and the United States, which have conducted 11 rounds of trade negotiations, but have yet to reach an agreement.
