The exercise, code-named "Peace Mission-2009", will be carried out in Russia's Far East area and northeast China's Shenyang Military Command, according to the two countries' defense authorities. It will last five days.
Chiefs of General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) will hold strategic talks in Russia's Khabarovsk on July 22, said Hu Changming, spokesman with Defense Ministry.
The two armed forces will send 1,300 personnel from each army and air force services to participate in the exercise, the spokesman said.
