Millan meets with RBN counterpart Monday

From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 8): Millan meets with RBN counterpart Monday

Philippine Navy (PN) flag-officer-in-command Vice Admiral Jesus C. Millan formally met his Royal Brunei Navy (RBN) counterpart, First Admiral Pengiran Norazmi Bin Pengiran Haji Muhammad Monday.

This took place as the RBN chief visited PN headquarters at Naval Station Jose Andrada, Roxas Boulevard, Manila.

Norazmi, who just assumed command of the RBN last March 13, arrived Sunday for an official visit and introductory call to Philippine military and defense heads.

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

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

The PN and 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 (MOU) on Defense Cooperation between the Philippines and Brunei Darussalam signed on August 22, 2001 which serves as a framework for fostering closer defense relations and cooperation between the armed forces of both countries.
