China and Malaysia will hold a joint military exercise in October in the Southeast Asian nation and nearby waters, focused on measures such as disaster relief and combating piracy, the Chinese Defence Ministry and an affiliated media outlet said.

The regular drills are part of Beijing's efforts to build closer defence cooperation with Southeast Asian nations, despite tension in the region over contested areas in the busy waterway of the South China Sea.

Participating forces set out on Oct 8 from China's military ports in Zhanjiang, Sanya and Hong Kong for the exercise scheduled from Oct 15 to 23, said the media outlet, the China Military Bugle.
