The Belarusian Defense Ministry's announcement posted on Telegram on July 12 read: "From July 11-13, a Chinese military delegation from the Joint Logistics Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army visited Minsk...

Today, the two sides held discussions on bilateral cooperation in the field of logistical support for the armed forces of Belarus and China, new prospects and areas of cooperation were discussed.

The visit coincided with an ongoing “anti-terrorism” exercise involving Chinese and Belarusian soldiers in the border area with Poland.

It is unclear whether the discussion was directly related to the ongoing “anti-terrorism” exercises being conducted by the Chinese and Belarusian militaries on the border with Poland. Chinese diplomats have insisted that the exercises “are not aimed at any specific country.”

In an official statement, the Chinese Ministry of National Defense said both sides were working to “improve combat skills and strengthen cooperation and communication between the two militaries.”

The exercise, called Falcon Assault-2024, took place at a training ground near the city of Brest, southwestern Belarus, on the border with Poland.

According to the announcement of the Belarusian Ministry of Defense, the joint anti-terrorism and anti-terrorism exercise will take place from July 8-19, aiming to exchange best practices and lay the foundation for cooperation between Belarus and China in joint training of soldiers.

Meanwhile, according to the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, the two sides will jointly carry out activities such as hostage rescue, coordinated anti-terrorism actions... with the aim of improving the training level and coordination capacity of the two forces, deepening practical cooperation between the two countries' armies.
