China has announced its joint military exercises with Russia, named Joint Sea-2024, taking place around Zhanjiang, Guangdong province, from early July until mid-month.
These drills aim to demonstrate the nations’ capabilities in addressing maritime security threats and enhancing their strategic partnership.
The announcement coincided with a NATO meeting in Washington, where leaders reaffirmed support for Ukraine, and Japan’s warning about the growing China-Russia ties posing a security threat.
