Shoigu and Chen held a meeting on the sidelines of the 9th round of Russia-China consultations on public security, justice and law enforcement on Wednesday morning in the Bamboo Curtain country.

"The security and law enforcement agencies of our two countries maintain very intensive cooperation. And we are committed to deepening cooperation in law enforcement and security," Shoigu said, launching TASS November 13.

Russia, Shoigu said, is trying to consolidate efforts to combat international extremism, terrorism, and transnational crime both bilaterally and multilaterally.
