Take an objective view on Chinese-Pakistan air force drills, China tells India
Beijing, Dec 21: China on Monday defended the ongoing joint exercises of its air force with that of Pakistan, saying the drills were not directed against any third country and India should view them objectively.
The Air Forces of China and Pakistan are holding their annual exercises “Shaheen (Eagle)-IX” since the second week of December in Pakistan’s southern Sindh province.
The exercises followed the recent visit of China’s Defence Minister General Wei Fenghe to Pakistan during which the all-weather allies signed a new memorandum of understanding, details of which were not disclosed.
