China's Ministry of National Defense confirmed on Thursday at its monthly press conference that China and India will resume the seventh “Hand-in-Hand” joint military training session.
The event will be held in Chengdu City in Southwest China's Sichuan Province from December 10 to 23. Each side will send 100 participants to take part in the training session, covering adaptive training, basic training, firing practice and so on.
The spokesperson said the joint military training session aims to promote mutual trust and improve anti-terrorism capabilities within the two militaries. The spokesperson stresses that as shown in the name of the joint training, the two militaries will work hand in hand to create greater benefits for people from both sides.
The exercises began in 2007, but its seventh joint training were suspended due to last year's border standoff between the two countries in China's Donglang area.
