China and Kazakhstan Hold War Games
Soldiers point guns to a “terrorist” during the first phase of a joint anti-terrorism drill “Tianshan-I (2006)” launched by China and Kazakhstan in Kazakhstan’s eastern Almaty region on Aug. 24, 2006. It was the first ever joint anti-terrorism exercise between the two countries’ law enforcement bodies and special forces within the framework of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). The exercise was aimed at implementing the consensus on enhancing security cooperation among SCO member states reached at the SCO summit in June, and to improve coordination between their law enforcement departments and special services.
