SINGAPORE, Apr 6: Indian Army chief General M M Naravane visited a key maritime security facility in Singapore on Wednesday and also shared his experience on professional military education at a premier training institute of the Singapore Armed Forces. The Chief of Army Staff, who is on a three-day visit to the city-state, on Tuesday held talks with top Singaporean military leadership and discussed the roadmap to further enhance bilateral military cooperation. "General MM Naravane COAS visited the Regional HADR Coordination Centre RHCC & Information Fusion Centre IFC at Singapore. COAS was briefed about the Coordination of a Multi-Nation HADR Response Mechanism & measures to enhance Maritime Security," the Indian Army's Additional Directorate General of Public Information (ADG PI) tweeted. Naravane also delivered a speech at the Goh Keng Swee Command and Staff College's Distinguished Speaker's Dialogue titled "India's Strategic Perspective" on Wednesday.
"General MM Naravane COAS visited Goh Keng Swee Command & Staff College GKSCSC, Singapore. The COAS also interacted with the officers of GKSCSC & shared his experience on Professional Military Education," ADGPI said in another tweet. On Tuesday, Gen Naravane had called on Singapore Defence Minister Dr Ng Eng Hen. During their meeting, Dr Ng and Gen. Naravane reaffirmed the strong and long-standing bilateral defence relationship between Singapore and India and discussed regional geopolitical developments. "His visit reaffirms the strong and long-standing bilateral defence relationship between Singapore and India," the Ministry of Defence here said in a tweet. Gen. Naravane, on the first day of his tour on Monday, visited the Kranji war memorial in Singapore and paid tributes to those who laid down their lives in the line of duty during World War II. He also visited the Battle Box Bunker at Fort Canning, an authentic World War II secret Command Centre built 9 metres underground in late 1936 by the British forces. On Tuesday, he visited the Infantry Gunnery and Tactical Simulator Centre at Pasir Laba Camp. The Army chief witnessed the state-of-the-art simulators, which enable troops to hone their weaponry skills and commanders to improve tactical decision-making abilities. His visit underscores the strong and long-standing bilateral defence relations between Singapore and India.
The Singapore Army and the Indian Army interact regularly through bilateral exercises, professional exchanges, visits and cross-attendance of courses. These mutually beneficial interactions have deepened the bilateral defence relationship, enhanced mutual understanding and strengthened the cooperation between the two armies, Singapore's defence ministry said in a statement. |
