The Philippine Navy (PN) announced that it will conduct
humanitarian assistance and disaster response, maritime search-and-rescue, and
maritime situational awareness training and cooperation with the Japan Maritime
Self Defense Force (JMSDF).
This was disclosed by PN spokesman Col. Edgard Arevalo
Tuesday.
"This is part of the customary engagements that the PN
does with navies sojourning the Philippines
The JMSDF will deploy a Lockheed P-3C "Orion"
maritime patrol aircraft in the above-mentioned exercise.
Arevalo stressed that these confidence building activities
aim to foster camaraderie, nurture established friendship, and promote
interoperability of the two navies.
"This Navy-to-Navy engagement envisions to share new
tactics, techniques, and procedures as well as best practices to further
maritime operations especially now that the Philippines is nearing the rainy
season," he added.
"Finally, the ensuing staff-to-staff talks during the
visit shall strengthen and institutionalize information-sharing between the PN
and JMSDF to step-up maritime situational awareness," the PN spokesman
said.
