Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told his Chinese counterpart on Tuesday that their countries' military cooperation was a "stabilising" force in the world and helped to reduce the chances of conflict, APA reports citing Reuters.
Chinese Defence Minister Li Shangfu is currently in Moscow as the countries look to deepen their military cooperation.
"The coordination of our efforts in the international arena has a stabilising effect on the global situation and helps to reduce the potential for conflict," the Interfax news agency quoted Shoigu as telling Li on Tuesday.
Shoigu said it was important that the two countries coordinated their efforts on the global stage, and expressed confidence that a programme of joint military exercises would be expanded.
