The Indian Army will deploy a contingent to Thailand later this month for this year’s edition of Exercise Maitree.
Maitree is the bilateral exercise conducted alternately by India and Thailand.
The previous, 14th edition was held at the Joint Training Node in Umroi, Meghalaya, in September last year.
This year’s exercise will be held in Thailand, marking the outbound leg of the alternating exercise.
Maitree is one of India’s long standing Army exercises with a Southeast Asian partner.
