SINGAPORE : Singapore and China have kicked off their second joint counter-terrorism training exercise.
The nine-day exercise, named COOPERATION 2010, had its opening ceremony on Friday.
The exercise focuses on counter-terrorism security operations for major international events.
About 60 personnel each from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and People's Liberation Army (PLA) are taking part in the exercise, which will consist of seminars, planning exercises and response drills.
The SAF is represented by personnel from SAF's 2nd People's Defence Force (2PDF), Headquarters 1st Singapore Infantry Brigade, the SAF Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Explosives Defence Group, the Medical Response Force and the SAF Military Police Command.
The PLA is represented by personnel from the PLA Headquarters, Beijing Military Command, Beijing Garrison and the Chemical Defence Regiment of the Beijing Military Command.
Brigadier-General (BG) Teo Jing Siong, Commander of the 2PDF, and Major General Gao Jian'guo, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Beijing Military Command, officiated at the opening ceremony.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, BG Teo welcomed the PLA troops to Singapore.
Recognising China's potential to contribute to regional security, BG Teo said: "Singapore welcomes China's continued defence exchanges and interactions with our region at the bilateral and multilateral levels, which would help foster cooperation and better understanding between regional militaries."
MINDEF said the exercise provides opportunities for personnel of the two armed forces to interact and better cooperate with each other.
