The weeklong "Hand in Hand 2008" China-India antiterror training exercise was held in India's Belgaum on December 6-12.

More than 200 soldiers carried out comprehensive closing, controlling and searching drills, along with training in shooting and raids. They also exchanged views on antiterror theories and civilian and judicial issues.

Chinese and Indian armies conducted their first antiterror joint training in southwest China's Yunnan Province in 2007.
