| India, China to hold joint military anti-terrorism manoeuvres | | |
New Delhi, May 19
Seeking to bring their military to military relations to a new high, India and China may soon hold their first-ever joint military exercise-- an anti-terrorism manoeuvre, Army Chief General J J Singh said here today.
"I am going to propose the holding of such manoeuvres," Army Chief told PTI on the eve of his departure for Beijing on a week-long visit as the head of a tri-service delegation.
Though the Indian and Chinese armies have held border bonhomie meetings, this would be first time that the two armies, which have almost been locked in an "eyeball to eyeball" confrontation all along the 3,000km long Sino-Indian Himalayan border for over four decades would be holding Joint Exercises.
"In principle, the Chinese have agreed to holding of such an exercise," the Army chief said, "but during the visit, we hope to work out the details and whether such a first-ever exercise would be held on Chinese or Indian soil".
