China, Russia, and South Africa's armed services have all stated that they will coordinate military exercises off its coast the next month.
Military drills will take place in Richards Bay and Durban between February 17 and February 27.
The SANDF's (South African National Defense Force) stated objective is to encourage the sharing of operational knowledge.
Along with some other African countries, South Africa remained neutral throughout Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The nation assumed leadership of the BRICS bloc of countries—Brazil, Russia, India, and China—earlier this month.
The military will have conducted a similar training twice previously. The first occasion happened in November of 2019.
This year's practise will involve more than 350 soldiers of the South African National Defense Force (SANDF), according to SANDF.
