Strengthened Partnership

Our Chief of Navy RADM Aaron Beng met with the U.S. Navy's Chief of Naval Operations ADM Mike Gilday over a video conference this morning. 

The two leaders expressed their confidence in the strength of our partnership, with both navies sustaining a steady cadence of professional interactions over the last few months. This is testament to the unique and long-standing relationship built over many years of close cooperation, underpinned by mutual trust and shared values.

This year, both navies conducted a passage exercise in May, and the RSN deployed a frigate RSS Supreme to the US-led multinational Rim of the Pacific Exercise off Hawaii. We look forward to meeting at sea again in Dec for the bilateral Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training exercise.
