印度继续促进与中国的军事关系

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.

印度继续稳步发展与中国的军事关系，虽然印度军队于9月29日越界发动外科手术式打击后，在巴基斯坦方向的西线保持高度的战备状态，以应对任何意外事件。

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.

今年早些时候，印度和中国在东部的拉达克和锡金举行了首次联合战术演练，目前在为11月15日至27日举行的年度“手拉手”战斗演习进行准备。

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.

手拉手演习原本是为世界最庞大军队和第二大现役军队之间构建信心的重大举措。消息人士称，第6次手拉手演习，会迎来170名中国士兵。
