Ten members from each of the two countries' armies participated in the training, which began on Sept. 10 and concluded Wednesday.

With the theme "cooperation, trust, exchange," the training exercise featured marching in mountainous areas, natural obstacle handling, military swimming and field survival.

Servicemen from the two countries overcame differences in language and culture, and enhanced understanding and friendship during the training, the Chinese sources said.
