BEIJING, May 26 (Reuters) - China on Tuesday reiterated its stance on the Australia-India-Japan-US Quad group, saying cooperation between countries should contribute to regional peace, stability and prosperity, and should not target any third party.
"We also do not support the formation of exclusive cliques or bloc confrontation. No cooperation should undermine mutual trust and cooperation among regional countries," China's foreign ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning, told a daily press conference.
The foreign ministers of Australia, India, Japan and the U.S. gathered on Tuesday in India and agreed to jointly build a port in Fiji and signed pacts covering critical minerals and energy security.
