China, Pakistan to launch joint air drill
BEIJING, 09 April 2016 (Xinhua)
China and Pakistan will stage a
joint air force exercise this month in Pakistan, a military spokesperson
announced.
"Shaheen (Eagle)-5," the fifth such drill between
the two countries, will take place from April 9 to 30, Air Force spokesperson
Shen Jinke said on Saturday.
Shaheen-4, which was staged in China last year, featured
fighters, fighter bombers as well as airborne early warning and control
(AEW&C) aircraft.
According to Shen, joint military exercises and exchanges
between Chinese and Pakistani air forces in recent years had effectively
deepened cooperation between the two militaries.
He said the Chinese air force is willing to further expand
exchanges and cooperation with the rest of the world and join hands with
international peers to handle challenges and crises.
