Russia seeks new military cooperation with China
MOSCOW (AFP) Jul 06, 2004
Russia said Tuesday it wanted to extend its military cooperation with neighboring giant China for decades to come, during a visit by the vice chairman of Beijing's central military commission, news reports said.Vice chairman Guo Boxiong met Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov, with the Russian security chief saying ahead of the formal meeting that military cooperation was "developing vigorously" with China, Interfax reported.
Ivanov said the meeting "should be a building block for the future years and even decades."
Interfax reported late Tuesday that Russia and China had agreed to hold a joint military exercise next year, the first by the two countries since a joint naval exercise in 1999.
"We have ordered our general staff to prepare the joint maneuvers," Ivanov was quoted as saying.
"The memorandum (signed on the maneuvers) is the next step in the development of cooperation between our armed forces," Guo said.
The location, date and scale of the exercise was not revealed, it said.
