China and Malaysia will conduct the "Peace and Friendship-2025" joint exercise in Malaysia and nearby waters in mid-to-late October 2025, according to the Chinese Defense Ministry on Wednesday.
With the theme "humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and maritime security," China and Malaysia will deploy multi-service forces for a joint live-fire drill, and other ASEAN member states will be invited as observers.
