Commenting on the exercises, the head of Russia's National Guard, Viktor Zolotov praised the Chinese troops as they were "acting under special conditions, in an unknown situation, on unknown territory."
The head of the Chinese delegation, Van Nin stated that the operation was "a very important event in Russia in order to optimise the security forces and raise the military and fighting efficiency of the special forces.
