Philippine Army (PA) chief Lt. Gen. Eduardo M. Año formally
met with his Royal Brunei Land Forces (RBLF) counterpart, Brig. Gen. Pengiran
Dato Paduka Aminan, on Thursday at the PA headquarters in Fort
Bonifacio , Taguig City
Aminan's visit to the Philippines
Año also shared the PA's best practice to the RBLF in a
command briefing and open forum.
During the briefing, PA vice commander Major Gen. R.
Demosthenis C. Santillan warmly welcomed the RBLF delegation, saying that the
Army is indeed grateful for the visit as it is a very opportune engagement to
further reinforce the partnership and camaraderie between the two forces in
working together towards regional and global stability.
Año said that through a bilateral Army Working Group, both
armies can push for the conduct of exchange visits, training exchange
opportunities, joint military exercises, and other bilateral undertakings that
will build up interoperability in terms of regional security initiatives.
“I believe that as we put in place an Army-to-Army Working
Group, our forces can examine our common capabilities as well as concerns, and
eventually promote PH-Brunei bilateral defense ties,” said Año.
“I am certain that the RBLF has much to share with the
Philippine Army in terms of capability upgrades, especially after your
successful initiatives in enhancing force capabilities and defense policies,”
he added.
Aminan, on his part, said, “I would like to express my commitment
in making sure that we continue our close relationship with your Army and
hopefully in moving it closer in the years to come.”
