Flags of both countries were hoisted and national anthems played to mark the opening of the joint military exercise in a ceremony, a statement from the army's Inter-Services Public Relations said.

"The joint exercise is aimed at sharing mutual experience and information in medical field through a comprehensive training program in near real time environment," it said.
