China, India to hold anti-terror training

Xinhua, September 24, 2015 Adjust font size:

The Chinese and Indian armies will hold a joint anti-terrorism military training from Oct. 11 to 23 in Kunming, capital of southwest China's Yunnan Province.

Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Wu Qian said on Thursday the training is part of an annual exchange program between the two countries' armed forces.

A total of 144 people from southwest China's Chengdu Military Command will join their Indian counterparts for the drill, code-named "Hand-in-Hand 2015," Wu said at a monthly press briefing.

The training will be the fifth of its kind between the two countries' armies, the spokesperson added.

The first was held in southwest China's Yunnan Province in 2007, followed by drills in Belgaum, India in 2008, southwest China's Sichuan in 2013, and in the western Indian city of Pune in 2014. Endi
