China Assures Naval Drills in Gulf of Oman With India and Russia Unrelated to Regional Tensions
16:49 GMT 26.12.2019 (Updated: 10:12 GMT 19.07.2022) BEIJING (Sputnik) - According to Defence Ministry spokesman, the four-day drills starting this Friday would be "a normal, routine exercise… which is in line with international laws".
China's joint naval drills with Russia and India that will begin in the Gulf of Oman this week are not a response to tensions in the region, a Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman Wu Qian said Thursday at a press briefing.
China plans to send the Xining guided-missile destroyer to the drills. Russia has had a naval force deployed to the Indian Ocean for joint drills with India since mid-December.
Iran and the United States were on a brink of a military clash over the crucial trade waterway in June after Washington accused Tehran of staging a string of attacks on oil tankers, which it denied. The US has been building a military coalition to patrol the gulf and the Hormuz Strait.
