(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 26 - Cooperation between Russia and China "is not a military alliance": Russian President Vladimir Putin said today in an interview with the Rossiya-24 TV channel, as reported by Tass.
"This is absolutely false," Putin told reporter Pavel Zarubin when asked whether cooperation between Moscow and Beijing could pose a threat to the West.
"We are not creating any military alliance with China - he added -. Yes, we also collaborate on the technical-military front, we are not hiding it, but it is transparent, there is nothing secret".
