The Chinese and Singaporean militaries will hold the Exercise Cooperation-2024 joint ground force training in Central China's Henan province in late November, a defense spokesman said on Friday.
Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang said in an online news briefing that the joint training is conducted according to the annual plan and the consensus of the two sides, focusing on urban joint counter-terrorism operations.
"The exercise aims at deepening pragmatic cooperation between the two militaries and strengthening their capabilities in joint counter-terrorism operations," he said.
Exercise Cooperation joint ground force training is a traditional cooperation project between the Chinese and Singaporean militaries, said Zhang, adding that this year's training marks the sixth of its kind.
