The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) are conducting a bilateral exercise in the Republic from Dec 10 to 17.
The joint military training exercise, Exercise Cooperation, is in its seventh iteration and will centre on urban counter-terrorism operations, said the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) in a statement on Dec 10.
The exercise, which was inaugurated in 2009, will feature a battalion-level field training exercise, Mindef said, adding that it will be conducted at Safti City for the first time.
