FAR 121 ops SIC recurrent training- Question

[737seeker]

hi all,

i am flying for an operator in Asia using my faa atp. according to the local civil aviation regulations, part 121 operators are required to give OPC every 6 months.

Question: can i substitute the OPC to meet FAR 121.433 section C requirements for SIC ? in other words, while doing the recurrent training prescribed under 121.433 section C, is the presence of faa approved check airman mandatory ?

thanks
