印度繼續促進與中國的軍事關係

NEW DELHI: India continues to slowly but steadily build military-to-military ties with China, even as it keeps its armed forces on high operational readiness along the western front with Pakistan for any contingency after the cross-border surgical strikes of September 29.

印度繼續穩步發展與中國的軍事關係，雖然印度軍隊於9月29日越界發動外科手術式打擊後，在巴基斯坦方向的西線保持高度的戰備狀態，以應對任何意外事件。

India and China, after holding their first-ever joint tactical exercises in eastern Ladakh and Sikkim along the disputed 4,057-km Line of Actual Control (LAC) earlier this year, are now getting set for their annual ‘Hand-in-Hand’ (HiH) combat exercise at Aundh, near Pune in Maharashtra, from November 15 to 27.

今年早些時候，印度和中國在東部的拉達克和錫金舉行了首次聯合戰術演練，目前在爲11月15日至27日舉行的年度“手拉手”戰鬥演習進行準備。

Sources said the sixth edition of the HiH exercise, which has emerged as a major confidence-building measure between the world’s largest and second-largest standing armies, will see participation from over 170 troops from the recently-upgraded Tibet Military Command of People’s Liberation Army.

手拉手演習原本是爲世界最龐大軍隊和第二大現役軍隊之間構建信心的重大舉措。消息人士稱，第6次手拉手演習，會迎來170名中國士兵。
