India and Nepal will commence a battalion level military training exercise in Rupandehi's Saljhandi on Friday.
The 16th India-Nepal military training exercise 'Surya Kiran' will last for 15 days.
According to spokesperson for the Nepal Army, Narayan Silwal, a contingent of Indian Army arrived in Saljhandi on Wednesday to participate in the joint exercise.
"This is a routine military exercise between the two armies," Silwal told Nepalkhabar.
Meanwhile, the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu tweeted that the joint exercise is a paragon for exchange of professional experience and cementing the friendship between the two armies.
In September 2021, the 15th India-Nepal combined battalion level military training exercise ‘SURYA KIRAN’ took place in Pithoragarh of India.
During the exercise, an Infantry Battalion each from the Indian Army and the Nepali Army held a training together to develop inter-operability and shared their experience of counter terrorism operations and disaster relief operations.
Around 650 defence personnel from both the Armies took part in the event.
