It's a show where the king met. "We have to fight the U.S. check together."

Sergei Shoigu, secretary of Russia's National Security Council, met with Wang Yi, head of the Central Foreign Affairs Office of the Communist Party of China during his visit to China.

China's foreign ministry said on the 12th local time that Wang co-chaired the 19th annual strategic security consultation between China and Russia with Secretary Shoigu who visited China.

At the meeting, Shoigu emphasized that "the most urgent task for both countries is to respond to the US and its allies' policy of 'double containment' targeting Russia and China."

In response, Wang responded, "The more complicated the international situation becomes and there are many external challenges, the more necessary it is for the two countries to unite and cooperate to protect their common interests."

The meeting marks the first high-level contact between China and Russia since former U.S. President Donald Trump won re-election.

Shoigu, who will stay in China until the 15th, will hold the 9th meeting of the China-Russia Law Enforcement Security Cooperation Organization with Chen Wenqing, China's chief public security officer, and attend the Zhuhai Air Show to watch the first overseas demonstration of Russia's Su-57 stealth fighter.
