China said Monday it would hold joint military drills with Russia this month, as the allies deepen ties that have seen Nato dub Beijing an “enabler” of Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
Naval and air forces will take part in the “North-Joint 2024” exercises in the skies and around the Sea of Japan and Sea of Okhotsk, off Russia’s coast, China’s defense ministry said.
“This exercise aims to deepen the strategic cooperation level between the Chinese and Russian militaries and enhance their ability to jointly deal with security threats,” the ministry said.
