Chinese and Russian navies will conduct joint military exercises in the offshore waters and airspace near Qingdao, China, during the upcoming week, according to reports.

The exercises, scheduled from July 6 to July 13, involve Russia's Pacific Fleet, which has already arrived in Qingdao with one warship, one corvette, one diesel-electric submarine, and one rescue vessel, as reported by the Russian state-owned news agency RIA.

China's Ministry of Defense stated that the drills are an annual routine exercise aimed at jointly addressing regional stability and security challenges.

Additionally, after the joint military exercises, some naval forces from both countries will proceed to designated waters in the Pacific Ocean to conduct joint maritime patrols.
