China, Saudi Arabia hold first joint anti-terror drills

Special forces from China and Saudi Arabia have held their first joint anti-terrorism drills, state media reported on Thursday, China's latest effort to expand security ties with countries in the Middle East and its Muslim neighbours.
China says its companies and citizens face a growing threat from terrorism as its global footprint expands, and the government has been getting more involved diplomatically in trouble spots in areas such as the Middle East.
President Xi Jinping visited Saudi Arabia early this year, vowing to expand security cooperation and oppose terrorism.
