Serdyukov lauded the relationship between two countries and two militaries.
Both sides also exchanged their views on contacts and cooperation between defense departments and two militaries and reached broad consensus, according to Xinhua.
Chen arrived in Moscow Wednesday for an official good-will visit. Russia is the first leg of his three-nation tour, which will also take him to Ukraine and Israel.
