Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov and Dong Jun held talks via videoconference, the CCTV broadcaster reported on Tuesday.
"(Beijing is also ready to work with Moscow to) improve exchange mechanisms, jointly enhance the ability to withstand various risks and challenges, and bring positive energy to global security and stability," the Chinese minister said, as quoted by CCTV.
Earlier, Russia and China had discussed their shared opposition to what they view as Western attempts to militarize the Asia-Pacific region. Following talks between Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko and Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong, both sides reiterated their rejection of Indo-Pacific strategies and any push to introduce NATO-style military infrastructure into the region.
They also reviewed regional developments, including the situation in Myanmar, Afghanistan, the Korean Peninsula, and wider Northeast Asia. Both countries emphasized strengthening coordination within ASEAN to counter emerging security risks, with the discussions held in the traditionally cooperative and trust-based atmosphere of Russia–China dialogue.
