The 2nd edition of the 10-day Nepal-China joint military exercise “Sagarmatha Friendship - 2018” was held at Chengdu, the capital of China’s southwestern Sichuan Province, from September 17.
The aim of the exercise is to share expertise in disaster management and to fight terrorism, among others.
This comes at a time when Nepal refuses to participate in the first-ever BIMSTEC military exercise “MILEX-18”, which was started in India on September 10.
