MOSCOW and Beijing are intensively developing military and defence industry cooperation, while their actions are absolutely transparent and not directed against third countries, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

Top diplomat added Russia-China partnership is based on “the high level of mutual trust”.

“The high level of mutual trust allows us to intensively develop military and military-technical cooperation, conduct joint military exercises, organize air and sea patrols, and carry out friendly interaction in the area of the common border.

“All this helps to strengthen the security of our countries, maintain international and regional stability, primarily in Greater Eurasia,” Lavrov said in an article for the Rossiyskaya Gazeta daily.

The article is dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Russia and China.

“At the same time, our actions are absolutely transparent, are taken in strict accordance with international law and are not directed against third countries,” the minister said.

He said that despite the various restrictive measures imposed by the United States and its satellite states, the economies of Russia and China continue to develop dynamically. — SPUTNIK
