Chinese and Pakistani air forces will take part in a joint air drill Sep 2-22 in northwestern China's Xinjiang Uygur region, the Chinese defence ministry said Thursday.
The drill, code-named "Shaheen-2", would be held in Hetian prefecture, Xinhua reported citing ministry spokesman Yang Yujun.
This is another cooperative project between the two air forces after the "Shaheen-1" drill in Pakistan in March 2011, he said.
