China today said it will continue to strengthen defence cooperation with India as the two nations' armies kicked off the fifth round of annual anti-terror military drills in the Chinese city of Kunming aimed at enhancing mutual understanding, communication and cooperation.

As two emerging global powers, India and China's progress should be mutually supportive, Indian Ambassador to China Ashok K Kantha has said.

China today said a 46-year-old Indian and 19 other foreigners, who were deported after being arrested for alleged terror links, watched video clips that "advocate terrorism and religious extremism" and admitted to their "illegal acts".
