RBN chief vows closer cooperation with PN

From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 10): RBN chief vows closer cooperation with PN
 
Royal Brunei Navy commander First Admiral Pengiran Norazmi Bin Pengiran Haji Muhammad vowed closer cooperation with the Philippine Navy following a meeting last Monday with PN flag officer-in-command Vice Admiral Jesus C. Millan.

Norazmi also expressed his enthusiasm in deepening and strengthening of the relationship between the PN and RBN.

The former also visited the PN headquarters at Naval Station Jose Andrada, Roxas Blvd., Manila. He arrived in the country last Sunday.

Prior to his meeting with Millan, the RBN commander made a courtesy call on Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin and Armed Forces chief-of-staff Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang.

The PN and the RBN have a regular bilateral training codenamed Maritime Training Activity Seagull (MTA Seagull) hosted alternately to strengthen the bilateral relationship and enhance the mutual cooperation and understanding between the two navies.

MTA Seagull is held every other year in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding on Defense Cooperation between the Philippines and Brunei Darussalam signed on Aug. 22, 2001 which serves as a framework for fostering closer defense relations and cooperation between the armed forces of both countries.
