NEW DELHI (PTI): Notwithstanding the spate of incursions by Chinese Army into Indian territory, the two countries are going ahead with finalising the schedule for their military exercises planned in October.
A Chinese Army team is scheduled to visit India in the last week of August for holding a planning conference at the Eastern Command headquarters in Kolkata and finalise the dates and details of the third 'Hand-in-Hand' exercise to be held at the Chengdu region in China, sources said here.
In the two-week exercise, the two sides will practice counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism manoeuvres under the UN mandate, they said.
The third edition of the exercise is being held after a gap of almost five years after the drills in Belgaum in December 2008. The first edition of the exercise was held at Kunming in China in 2007.
