“The
upcoming China-Russia joint naval drills, slated for May 11 to 21 in
the Mediterranean Sea, signal deepening relations and cooperation
between the two countries. Nine surface ships from both navies will
be involved in the 'Joint Sea-2015' drills, the fourth since joint
China-Russia sea drills began in 2012. A focus on maritime defense,
replenishment and escorting will hone security capabilities on both
sides.”
“China
and Russia have been working to strengthen the interaction and
exchanges between the two countries' armed forces in recent years. In
addition to the annual naval drills, the two countries also conducted
anti-terror drills and joint multilateral exercises under the
Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) framework. As military ties
are representative of state-to-state relations, military cooperation
between China and Russia also symbolizes growing mutual trust, and is
an important component of a comprehensive strategic partnership.”
“China's
guards of honor, consisting of 102 members, joined the parade and
marched through the Red Square. The two countries plan to hold more
celebrations this year to remember the victory of World War II, honor
those that have fallen in war and promote communication. These moves
also clearly demonstrate that both countries will work with each
other to safeguard peace and post-war international order. To those
suspicious of such cooperation, the upcoming drills will go someway
to prove how closer China-Russia relations can contribute to a better
world.”
