World

The Russian and Chinese Navies have established close cooperation to ensure safe passage during the maritime phase of the transportation of Syrian chemical weapons in the Mediterranean Sea. The Russian missile cruiser Pyotr Veliky assisted by the Chinese frigate Yancheng fulfilled the responsible mission of escorting the first batch of Syrian chemical weapons transported by the Dutch cargo ship Ark Futura, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday, according to Voice of Russia, RIA.

The Russian and Chinese ships maintained close contact during the escort.

“The first joint military operation by a Russian and Chinese warships was a success,” the ministry said.

Under the initial plan, the most toxic chemicals were to be removed from Syria by December 31, 2013. But the ongoing instability in Syria made the deadline impossible to meet.
