The 18th edition of the Indo-Nepal Joint Exercise Surya Kiran, currently underway in Nepal, underscores the strong and enduring partnership between the Indian and Nepalese armies. This joint military exercise focuses on counterterrorism and operations in challenging terrains, with troops engaging in rigorous drills such as jungle survival, combat first aid, ambush tactics, and heliborne operations. Urban warfare training, including close-quarter combat and room-clearing techniques, prepares participants for modern battlefield scenarios.

Additionally, lane training simulates real-world tactical challenges, while team sports and yoga sessions foster resilience, mental focus, and camaraderie. Surya Kiran 18 exemplifies the shared commitment of both nations to military excellence, peace, and mutual cooperation.
