Pakistan and Russia are set to hold their military exercises this year. This is the first time that military personnel from the two countries would be taking part in joint military drills called ‘Friendship-2016’.
Around 200 military personnel from the two sides would take part in the joint military exercises.
The joint military drill is seen as another step in growing military-to-military cooperation, indicating a steady growth in bilateral relationship between the two countries, whose ties had been marred by Cold War rivalry for decades.
