China, Nepal hold joint counter-terrorism exercise

The "Mount Qomolangma Friendship 2024", a ten-day joint military drill between China and Nepal focused on counter-terrorism operations, kicked off on Sunday in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality.

More than 120 representatives from both sides attended the opening ceremony at a military base in Chongqing earlier in the day.

The joint training, the fourth edition since 2019, aims to improve the collaboration capabilities of the two sides in joint operations, such as multi-dimensional military information search, maneuver and infiltration, and armed rescue.

It will be carried out in two stages. The first stage includes counter-terrorism team tactics, drone operations, disaster relief and rescue and other trainings on hybrid squads formed by Chinese and Nepali participants, while the second stage will be a comprehensive counter-terrorism drill.

"During this joint training, the officers and soldiers from both sides will form mixed groups and live and train together to achieve the goal of close learning and exchanges," said Yu Jian, commander of the Chinese team.

At the training ground, the Chinese side showcased 20 kinds of light weapons, reconnaissance equipment and intelligent information equipment, such as reconnaissance robot dogs and self-propelled reconnaissance balls.
