An infantry battalion level joint exercise between
Indo-Nepal Armies code named SURYA KIRAN-XI
is scheduled to be held at Pithoragarh beginning 07 to 20 March 2017.
Both the armies will practice counter insurgency drills during the exercise.
SURYA KIRAN is conducted every year, alternatively in India
and Nepal, with an aim to promote military relations while increasing
interoperability in conducting joint counter insurgency operations in
mountainous terrain. Both armies stand to benefit mutually from each other’s
experience in fighting insurgency, environmental conservation, humanitarian
assistance and disaster relief (HADR) etc.
Such mutual interactions, which include sharing of
experiences, have the potential to further strengthen cultural and historical
ties between the two nations and take the bilateral relations forward. Present
iteration of the SURYA KIRAN exercise is being conducted under the aegis of
Panchshul Brigade in Surya Command.
