KUNMING, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) -- Chinese and Indian armies kicked off their first-ever joint anti-terrorism military training in southwest China Friday morning.
The two armies both dispatched about 100 ground troops for the joint training, code-named "Hand-in-Hand 2007," in Kunming popularly known as "City of Perpetual Spring."
Major General Xiong Zuoming, commander of the Chinese troops, said at a commencement ceremony that "Both China and India are resolutely opposed to terrorism and actively committed to strengthening international cooperation in fighting terrorism."
"But we must be aware that factors endangering world peace and stability still exist. Terrorism, in particular, has become a public enemy for the international communities," Xiong addressed the opening ceremony of the joint training.
"We would like to join hands with India to make unremitting efforts to push for building a harmonious world featuring long-lasting peace and common prosperity," he added.
