DWDD: GOODWILL VISIT | French Navy frigate in Manila

From DWDD AFP Civil Relations Service Radio Website (Mar 15): GOODWILL VISIT  |  French Navy frigate in Manila

   

PIER 9, South harbour, Manila (DWDD) – The French Navy Ship (FNS) Vendemiaire (F734), with one helicopter onboard, berthed at Pier 9, South Harbor, Manila for a goodwill visit.

The customary practice that the Philippine Navy (PN) renders to all visiting navies began with a designated PN vessel meeting FNS Vendemiaire at the vicinity of Corregidor Island and subsequently escorted it to the berthing area.

This goodwill visit will also involve series of confidence-building engagements between PN and French Navy personnel such as shipboard tour, reciprocal receptions and friendly games.

Such visit is expected to further strengthen the France-Philippines relations which also benefits both armed forces. The fitting reception bestowed by PN is a manifestation of a sustained promotion of peace and stability, and enhancement of maritime cooperation through naval diplomacy and camaraderie.
