MOSCOW, FEB. 3. Russia and China have launched regular security consultations to further cement their strategic partnership. The visiting member of China's State Council, Tang Jiaxuan, held the first security consultations with the head of the Russian Security Council, Igor Ivanov, before calling on the Russian President, Vladimir Putin.
