President Vladimir Putin believes that cooperation between Moscow and Beijing is going very well, including through the military departments. He said this while opening a meeting with Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu, who arrived in Moscow on a visit. He responded by saying that China’s relations with Russia are superior to all military alliances of previous years.
Mr. Putin called the March visit to the Russian capital of Chinese President Xi Jinping very productive. “We, among other things, touched, of course, on cooperation between the military departments between our countries. There is a very good development of relations in all directions. In the economy, in the social, in the cultural, in the educational sector. Well, along the line of military departments, ”said the President of the Russian Federation (quoted by TASS).
Mr. Shanfu agreed with him. “Recently, cooperation between Russia and China in the military and military-technical fields has been developing very well, this makes a great contribution to ensuring global and regional security,” the minister noted (quoted by Interfax).
The head of the Chinese Ministry of Defense claims that Russia and China continue cooperation “in the interests of the development and prosperity of the whole world.” “We stand shoulder to shoulder and work to improve the well-being of our peoples. Whereas the economic recovery is very slow. The world is very restless, peace is in great demand, peaceful relations between countries,” he is sure.
