This is the first meeting of Mr. Patrushev and Chen, RIA explained. The Chinese official was named secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission in October, which is China’s top security post.
Mr Patrushev, the former head of Russia’s internal security service (FSB), is widely regarded as one of the toughest hawks in President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle.
