CHINA and Russia are to conduct a joint maritime drill in the Yellow Sea off China's eastern coast next week.
The April 22-27 drill, focusing on maritime defense and protection of navigation, will involve 16 vessels, including destroyers, frigates, support and hospital ships and two submarines.
Four warships from Russia's Pacific Fleet, as well as support vessels, warplanes, helicopters and naval infantry, left Vladivostok on Sunday for the exercise.
The drill will further promote strategic coordination and mutual trust between the two militaries, a senior Chinese military official said yesterday.
Chen Bingde, Chief of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army, made the remarks while discussing military ties and the imminent drill in a telephone conversation with Russian counterpart Nikolai Makarov.
The maneuvers, the first of their kind by the two navies, will take place near China's coastal resort city of Qingdao.
Chen said the drill would strengthen the navies' ability to confront new regional threats and demonstrate their confidence to maintain peace and stability in the region and world.
