The defense ministers of India and China agreed Tuesday to resume joint military exercises, which were frozen two years ago, The Associated Press reported.
A. K. Antony and his Chinese counterpart Liang Guanglie announced the agreement after talks in New Delhi. However, no dates were set for the exercises, the report said.
During the talks the two sides also agreed to “hold high-level official exchanges, conduct joint maritime search-and-rescue exercises and strengthen anti-piracy operations off the coast of Somalia,†the report noted.
The exercises were suspended after Beijing denied a visa to an Indian general who worked in Indian-controlled Kashmir, the report said.
