NEW DELHI, JUN 17 (PTI): A contingent of the Indian Army will take part in a multinational military exercise — ‘Khaan Quest’ — in Mongolia from June 20 to July 3, officials said on Wednesday.
The two-week exercise brings together forces from across the world to enhance interoperability and collaboration in peace support operations under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, they said.
The Indian Army shared the update in a post on X.
