BEIJING (PTI): Indian and Chinese armies are all set to hold their third joint military exercises after a gap of five years, as a 150-strong Indian Army contingent on Monday arrived in Chengdu city to take part in anti-terrorism drills.
The 10-day drill code named "Hand in Hand" would be formally inaugurated on Tuesday at a designated area close to Chengdu city.
The annual exercises, which began in 2007, are being resumed after a gap of five years.
The first exercises were held in China's Kunming city followed by the second round at Belgaum in Karanataka in 2008.
The next round was called off by India following the denial of visa to a top General heading troops in Jammu and Kashmir on the grounds that the region formed part of disputed territory.
