ARMED forces from Shanghai Cooperation Organization member states will hold a "Peace Mission 2012" drill in Tajikistan from June 8 to 14, China's Ministry of Defense spokesman Yang Yujun said yesterday.
The drill is a joint anti-terrorism military exercise involving more than 2,000 personnel from China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, Yang said.
It will focus on the preparation and implementation of joint anti-terrorism action in mountainous areas in the context of a regional crisis as a result of terrorist activity.
Yang said defense and security cooperation was an important part of relations between SCO member states, adding that members had established a mechanism allowing for meetings between defense ministers and had held meetings between SCO military chiefs over the past decade.
Member states have staged eight anti-terrorism drills, held five security forums and conducted exchanges concerning defense cooperation and personnel training.
Defense and security cooperation has deepened military trust among SCO member states and enhanced their ability to cope with new challenges, he said, adding that cooperation had played a positive role in safeguarding regional peace and stability.
Over the past 10 years, the drills have cemented and deepened SCO defense and security cooperation, strengthened the cohesiveness of the organization and increased mutual trust between China and other member states, Yang said.
