A Chinese airborne special forces squad on Monday left for Belarus for a joint anti-terrorism drill training, a People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force spokesman said.

Shen Jinke said this was the third such drill between the air forces of China and Belarus after a 10-day exercise in July 2011, followed by a 12-day drill the year after.
