Washington: India is among countries which have been invited to participate in the largest multi-national military exercise in the Asia-Pacific region, which is being held in Thailand from February 7 to 17 with an aim to improve capability to plan and conduct joint operations and build relationships.

Several Countries which have been invited to participate on the multi-national planning augmentation team included Australia, France, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, India, Philippines and Vietnam, the US Marine said in a statement.

Throughout the exercise, US military forces and militaries from several other countries worldwide will conduct field training exercises, involving live-fire training as well as a non-combatant evacuation exercise, a command-post exercise, and humanitarian and civic assistance projects.
