India, Pakistan, China to take part in military drill in Russia

India and Pakistan will be part of a multi-nation counter-terror exercise in Russia in September, which will also be joined by China and several other countries, reports NDTV on Sunday.
The military exercise will take place under the framework of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), a China-dominated security grouping which is increasingly seen as a counterweight to North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), officials said.
They said the military drill will be held in the Ural mountains of Russia and almost all SCO member countries will be part of it.
They said the main aim of the exercise, Peace Mission, will be to enhance counter-terror cooperation among the eight SCO member countries.
