Summary

Machine summary

The Chinese and Pakistani armies will conduct 'Karakoram-2026' joint training in the Korla area of Xinjiang in mid-to-late October, focused on 联合反恐清剿行动 (joint counter-terrorism clearance operations) in high-altitude terrain, with skills training in UAV operation, on-the-move target search and firing, and long-range sniping, plus joint command and live-force exercise drills. MND spokesperson Senior Colonel Chen Xi described this as the first joint army training between the two countries, which documents a new bilateral military training baseline rather than an expansion of an existing series. The high-altitude, counter-terrorism framing and Xinjiang location point to shared concern over cross-border militant threats, though the article does not specify unit designations or force size on either side.
