"Shared Destiny-2021", an international peacekeeping drill, kicked off on Monday in Henan province, Xinhua News Agency reported.

It was the first time the Chinese military organised such a drill, with the participation of troops from countries including Mongolia, Pakistan and Thailand.

Scheduled to run until September 15, the drill aims to promote pragmatic cooperation among countries contributing troops to United Nations peacekeeping and boost the capability of peacekeeping standby forces.
