It is an integral part of the JJSC Curriculum (Overseas Tour) which aims to enhance their understanding on the national stability of countries in Asia-Pacific Region and likewise to enhance bilateral relations.

Their visit will include courtesy calls on the Chief of Staff, Armed Forces of Philippines, National Defense College of the Philippines and other Major Services Chiefs.
