'NOMADIC ELEPHANT – 2013', the exercise focused specially on the needs of peacekeeping missions under the UN flag and helped in increasing the coordination and understanding between troops of the two nations.
Defence cooperation and relations between India and Mongolia have seen a steady growth over the last decade with the first joint exercise in 2004. For the last few years, the joint drills are being held every year. In 2012, the joint training was held at Belgaum, in Karnataka.
