Amid conditions of "growing geopolitical turbulence" Russia-China military cooperation has new significance, he added. Shoygu also praised joint Russian-Chinese military exercises and patrols in the Pacific Ocean. He added that Moscow and Beijing "together oppose the hegemony of the United States, oppose the fake democratic regime of the United States and fake multiculturalism, as well as manifestations of the Cold War in a new form." At the end of the meeting, the two ministers signed a roadmap for military cooperation. The signed documents require increased cooperation between the armed forces of the two countries via strategic military exercises and joint patrols.
