Exercising with our German Friends Through PASSEX

We are glad to see Bayern one last time before they embark on their long journey back home to Germany. 

Despite the pandemic, we are glad to have the opportunity to conduct regular PASSEXes to foster mutual understanding and strengthen friendships with foreign navies. We look forward to more opportunities to conduct training and engagements in the future in order to maintain warm ties with our partners from Germany.
