New Delhi, October 17

India and China are all set to resume their military exercises in December, a first after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.

Not conducted in 2017, the ‘Hand-in-hand’ drill will be conducted in Kunming, China, said sources. The exercise was to be hosted last year by China, as per arrangement to conduct it in each country by rotation. But in May 2017, China backed out. India had hosted it in 2016.

There have been six editions of the drill and it was suspended from 2010-14 after China refused visa to then Northern Army Commander Lt Gen BS Jaswal saying J&K was disputed region. — TNS
