BEIJING (Sputnik) — On Tuesday, Shoigu arrived in China to take part in events devoted to the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and to meet with Chinese officials.

During negotiations with China's Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission Fan Changlong, Shoigu said that military cooperation is the basis on which bilateral relations between China and Russia have been built.

In 2015, Moscow and Beijing held a series of joint military drills and China also participated in the Army Games-2015 military contest held in Moscow in August.

“The consolidated position of our countries [Russia and China] has a stabilizing influence on the international situation,” Shoigu said.

“I am inviting Chinese arms developers to take part in the Army-2016. I am sure they have something to show,” Shoigu said during talks with Vice Chairman of the Chinese Central Military Commission Gen. Fan Changlong in Beijing.
