The talks took place ahead of a  meeting in Moscow today (wed) of defence ministers from the Shanghai  Co-operation Organisation (SCO), seen as an emerging rival to Nato. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">The Kremlin underscored the SCO\u2019s growing military  role, saying that the meeting of defence ministers was one of its \u201cmost  important activities\u201d. The SCO held its first military exercises in 2007, when  Russia\u2019s then President, Vladimir Putin, praised the organisation\u2019s \u201cgrowing  defence potential\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">Russia and China are founding members of the body  along with the Central Asian states of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and  Kyrgyzstan. India, Pakistan, Mongolia and Iran have observer status at SCO  meetings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">Russia and China staged their first joint war games  in 2005 after resolving outstanding border disputes between them. However,  Moscow views Beijing as a lucrative market for defence exports and has sold  billions of dollars of weaponry to China since the collapse of the Soviet Union  ended their Communist rivalry. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">President Medvedev described the relationship the  former Cold War foes as a \u201cstrategic partnership\u201d when he met China\u2019s Foreign  Minister Yang Jiechi at his country residence outside Moscow on Monday. Foreign  Minister Sergei Lavrov said later that Russia and China shared \u201ca common vision  of the contemporary world\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">Both states have a keen interest in keeping the  United States and Europe out of Central Asia as competition intensifies for  access to the region\u2019s enormous oil and gas reserves. Kyrgyzstan bowed to  Russian pressure in February and ordered the closure of a US military base used  to supply Nato operations in Afghanistan on the same day as it received pledges  of $2.15 billion in aid and loans from the Kremlin. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">Russia also announced yesterday that it would conduct  at least five test launches of its new Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile  before putting it into service at the end of this year&#8230; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">The trials are part of a modernisation programme for  Russia\u2019s armed forces&#8230; <a title=\"http:\/\/www.timesonline.co.uk\/tol\/news\/world\/europe\/article6188506.ece\" href=\"http:\/\/www.timesonline.co.uk\/tol\/news\/world\/europe\/article6188506.ece\">http:\/\/www.timesonline.co.uk\/tol\/news\/world\/europe\/article6188506.ece<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Bible shows that after the Great Tribulation, those of the North and East (apparently references to Russia, China, India, and their future allies) will cause problems for and attack the European <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/kingofthenorth.htm\">King of the North<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This announcement for increased cooperation among Russia, China, and certain allies is simply one step leading to that prophetic fulfillment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Those interested in more details, should study the following:<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"\/china3.htm\">Asia in Prophecy<\/a> What is Ahead for China?
