China, Russia to hold first-ever Mediterranean naval exercise

May 01, 2015 / RTNews

The Russian and Chinese Navies are to hold a joint exercise in the Mediterranean Sea in mid-May, a first in that part of the world. A total of nine warships from the two countries are to participate, Beijing said.

"The aim is to deepen both countries' friendly and practical cooperation, and increase our navies' ability to jointly deal with maritime security threats," Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng said on Thursday in a monthly news briefing.

"What needs saying is that these exercises are not aimed at any third party and have nothing to do with the regional situation," he added, saying that the Chinese Navy would contribute its warships currently on an anti-piracy mission in the Gulf of Aden.

Not aimed at a third party? Are pirates not a third party?

Contrary to what Beijing said, I think it has everything to do with the regional situation.

Firstly, why carry out anti-piracy missions with Russia in the Mediterranean Sea when they already have their own anti-piracy missions currently active in the Gulf of Aden?

Secondly, piracy is nothing new in the Golf of Aden, so why, suddenly, are these joint exercises needed in the Mediterranean to combat piracy in a gulf of the Arabian Sea where Yemen is currently under blockade in a war zone?
