China and Belarus have announced joint military training exercises near the border of Poland, a NATO and European Union member. The drills, set to last for 11 days, involve troops from China's People's Liberation Army and are focused on enhancing training levels and coordination capabilities between the two countries' armies.
The exercises, which include activities such as hostage rescue operations and counter-terrorism missions, are being held near the Belarus city of Brest, just 130 miles from Warsaw, Poland's capital, and 40 miles from Minsk's border with Ukraine.
