China, Russia satisfied with joint anti-terror military exer

BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhua) -- China and Russia are satisfied with the Peace Mission-2009 joint¹ anti-terror military exercise, senior military officers of the two countries said here on Friday.

Guo Boxiong, vice² chairman of China's Central Military Commission, met with Nikolai Makarov, chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Friday.

The China-Russia strategic partnership³ of cooperation maintains the momentum⁴ of vigorous development with close high-level exchanges, deepening political mutual⁵ trust and new achievements in cooperation on energy, culture, education, trade and economy as well as science and technology, said Guo, adding that China is willing to work with Russia to promote growth of bilateral⁶ ties.

Guo stressed that the two armed forces had conducted pragmatic and effective cooperation in various areas. The Peace Mission-2009 joint anti-terror military exercise is the demonstration⁷ of the high-level bilateral military ties.

The two armed forces are expected to further explore potentiality and expand areas of cooperation, so as to enrich the content of China-Russia strategic partnership of cooperation, he said.

In a meeting with Nikolai Makarov earlier Friday, Chinese Defense⁸ Minister Liang Guanglie said the joint military exercises held by China and Russia in recent years have profound strategic influence on deepening bilateral ties, combating the three forces of terrorism, separatism and extremism and safeguarding the regional peace and stability.

China's armed forces attach great importance to the relations with Russian armed forces and regard their ties as priority in China's foreign relations, Liang said.

Chen Bingde, chief of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China also met with Nikolai Makarov Friday afternoon.

Nikolai Makarov expressed his satisfaction over the Peace Mission-2009 joint anti-terror military exercise and suggested the two sides upgrade the level and scale of joint military exercise.

He said Russia hoped to learn China's experience on anti-terrorism and security assurances in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, so as to ensure the success of Russia's winter Olympic games in 2014.

China, Russia and other member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization previously⁹ held two similar anti-terrorism exercises under the name of "Peace Mission" in 2005 and 2007.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
