BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese and Russian naval fleets recently conducted their fourth joint sea patrol in the Western and Northern Pacific Ocean, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported on Sunday.

The patrol is part of an annual arrangement between the two and does not target any third party, CCTV said, adding the move had nothing to do with the current international and regional situation.
