To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 14 November to Question 82179 on China: Armed Forces, how many Chinese Armed Forces personnel have been trained by UK Armed Forces personnel as part of training missions outside the UK each year since 2010.
We do not have a record of the number of Chinese personnel trained by UK Armed Forces outside the UK since 2010. The following has been provided since 2014-15:
Financial Year | Training |
2014-15 | Aviation English Training programme - Multi-Engine |
2014-15 | Aviation English Training programme - Fast Jet |
2014-15 | Delivery of lecture at People’s Liberation Army No 4 Medical University by Army Medical Officers |
2015-16 | Military Aviation Language Training |
2016-17 | Aviation English Language Training |
2016-17 | Delivery of brief to UN Female Military Officers' Course on UN Peacekeeping at PLA Peacekeeping Training Centre |
2016-17 | Foot drill instruction for the Hong Kong Police |
2017-18 | RAF Mountain Rescue Service provision of a biennial standards check and specialist mountain training for the Hong Kong Civil Aid Service |
2019-20 | RAF Mountain Rescue Service provision of a biennial standards check and specialist mountain training for the Hong Kong Civil Aid Service |
This information is not available prior to 2014-15.
In addition to the above we are also aware of Chinese Armed Forces attendance to the Bangladesh National Defence College, to which UK service personnel delivered the Managing Defence in a Wider Security Context course. However the MOD does not routinely keep a record of attendees of such courses.
