MOSCOW, - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia and China do not establish military alliances similar to the alliances that existed during the Cold War.
The Russian presidential website quoted Putin as saying during a meeting he held with Vice Chairman of the Chinese Central Military Commission Zhang Youxia that "cooperation between Russia and China is of a constructive nature and constitutes a serious element for ensuring international stability." Moscow and Beijing are developing bilateral economic cooperation effectively, are working together at the international level, and in international organizations, as cooperation within the framework of regional groupings that are expanding in scope and comprehensiveness, such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the BRICS, is of interest to both countries, he added.
