The ministry said the exercises “United Veriu -2024” will be held in the Sea of Japan and the Okotski Sea, but did not provide more details.
The report said sea and air exercises are intended to improve strategic co-operation between the two states and “strengthening capacity to together face security threats”.
The Chinese ministry also said that the two navys will sail together into the Pacific for the fifth time, and will jointly participate in exercises “Great Ocean-24” to be held in Russia. But no more details were provided for such training.
China has refused to criticise Ukraine's full-scale invasion of Russia. For this war, which is in the third year, Beijing has blamed the United States and NATO for provoking Russian President Vladimir Putin.
While China has not directly offered weapons to Russia, Beijing has become the leading consumer of Russian gas and night, but also the supplier of electronics and other equipment, which have civilian and military uses. / REL/
