India Uzbekistan Joint Military Exercise EX DUSTLIK concludes

New Delhi: The 3rd edition of India-Uzbekistan Joint Field Training Exercise "EX DUSTLIK" concluded today at Yangiarik, Uzbekistan. The joint exercise provided an opportunity for both the contingents to train in Counter-Terrorism operations in a semi-urban environment.

The Indian Army said in a statement that the last two days of the exercise was dedicated to a validation exercise where both contingents jointly conducted simulated operations over extremist groups under a United Nations Mandate.

The conduct of this exercise, which covered a vast spectrum from cross-training & combat conditioning in field conditions, to sports and cultural exchanges has been a grand success.

"Exercise DUSTLIK will enhance the level of defence cooperation between both the Armies and will act as a catalyst for many such joint programs in future to further consolidate the traditional bond of friendship between India and Uzbekistan," the statement said.
