The Chinese Ministry of Defense in Beijing on Wednesday in a statement announced the participation of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in the exercise, added that “India, Belarus, Tajikistan, Mongolia and other countries will also participate”.

India also indicates its participation in war games. There was no response from the Indian Army on Wednesday on the question of Indian participation.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said last month Vostok (East) 2022 training will be held from August 30 to September 5 in 13 training sites in the Russian Eastern Military District, and that maneuvers will include air forces units, long -term bombers and aircraft military cargo.

The Statement of the Chinese Ministry of Defense noted that the exercise was “not related to the current international and regional situation” and was aimed at “deepening pragmatic and friendly cooperation with the military of participating countries, increasing the level of strategic coordination of all participating parties, and increasing the ability to handle various security threats “.
