A Chinese Army contingent arrived here on Saturday to take part in the sixth edition of a joint bilateral military training exercise, the Pakistan Army said.

The troops of the Special Service Group from both the armies will participate in the three-week long exercise 'Warrior –VI 2018'.

"A special forces contingent of People Liberation Army China arrived here today (Saturday) to participate in Pakistan-China joint military exercise," the Pakistan Army said.

This is the sixth joint exercise of the series as part of bilateral military cooperation between the two countries, it said.
