China on Friday described as "normal exchange" the first-ever Sino-Indian joint military exercise in eastern Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir and said the drill was not targeted against any "third country" nor it had "anything to do" with its stance on Kashmir issue.
"I would like to point out that this activity is simply a normal exchange between the frontier troops of China and India to properly deal with border affairs," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told PTI.
"It does not target any third country nor have anything to do with China's position on the Kashmir issue," she said in a written response to a question on Beijing's view on the exercises.
The joint army exercise was held in eastern Ladakh on October 19 amid tensions between India and Pakistan after the Uri terror attack and the surgical strikes by the Indian Army in the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
