Evolution of \u2018Exercise KAZIND\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This annual joint exercise, originally named \u2018Exercise PRABAL DOSTYK\u2019 when established in 2016, has come a long way.

Fostering Counter Terrorism Expertise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary focus of \u2018Exercise KAZIND-2023\u2019 is to hone the skills and coordination needed for conducting Counter Terrorism operations within a sub-conventional environment under the United Nations mandate.
