Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have held joint anti-terror exercises in southern Kyrgyzstan, Interfax reported on Monday.
"The joint exercises built up military confidence and coordinated the deterrence against new threats and challenges to regional security," the Kyrgyz Defense Ministry said.
Servicemen of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan held joint tactical exercises, including shooting practices, at the Kyrgyz Defense Ministry's Buzhum training camp in the Batken region of southern Kyrgyzstan Friday to Sunday.
The troops spent three days planning the military operation to track and destroy illegal armed units. A task force of the Defense Ministry and about 30 servicemen of a separate airborne assault brigade represented Tajikistan in the exercises.
There will be one more drill involving Kyrgyz and Kazakh servicemen in Tajikistan from August to September, according to Interfax.
