Meanings of naval drills in English

Chinese and Egyptian warships also held their first joint naval drills this month.

There can be little coincidence that China has also held naval drills recently in waters off its coast.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said major naval drills, due to begin on Saturday, were justified by events in Syria.

Earlier this year, India rejected an Australian request to be included in four-country naval drills for fear of angering Beijing.

In the past month, the US and South Korea ended another round of naval drills involving a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier off the east coast.

Just to drive home the point, South Korea today began week-long nationwide live fire naval drills in 29 locations around the periphery of the peninsula.

Abe and Modi are expected to agree to hold regular joint naval drills as well as exercises involving the US, the Nikkei said on Monday.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that recent naval drills off Syria were justified, and that the "hotbed of terrorists" in Idlib must be tackled.
