BEIJING, October 30. /TASS/. Relations between Moscow and Beijing are becoming more appealing to other countries, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said at the 10th Xiangshan Security Forum.

"In fact, the model of interstate relations between Moscow and Beijing can be called exemplary. At the same time, it is growing increasingly appealing to others. The circle of our friends and like-minded people who do not want to be drawn into the confrontational agenda imposed by the collective West constantly expands," he said.

He also pointed out that "the forum in Beijing has convincingly established itself as an authoritative and sought-after discussion platform.".
