Chinese and Tanzanian troops conducted the third joint anti-terrorist tactical training from Tuesday to Friday as part of the "Peace Unity - 2024" joint military drills launched by China, Tanzania and Mozambique.
At the Chinese-built Comprehensive Training Center (CTC) in Mapinga, Dar-es-Salaam, the two sides have increased their level of operational and tactical cooperation after the first two rounds of training. The third round is designed to address issues the troops had previously and improve the coordination.
"Through in-depth integration studies with the logistics and equipment forces of the Tanzanian army, we have incorporated the guarantee of supply, rescue, utilization and repair into the whole process of joint command exercises and live operations," said Meng Bingfeng, officer of the Chinese troops.
After the training, the troops also organized live-fire shooting with light weapons. As planned, the land phase will conclude with a formal live-fire exercise on Sunday.
Running from late July to mid-August, and focusing on joint counter-terrorism military operations, the "Peace Unity - 2024" joint military drill is being conducted both on land and at sea. The joint exercise aims to enhance the capabilities of the participating troops in joint counter-terrorism operations and to deepen military mutual trust and practical cooperation. It will also be conducive for the three countries to jointly preserve regional peace and stability, according to Senior Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense.
