Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song: To ask the Minister for Defence (a) whether any Singapore delegation was sent to Myanmar to attend the ASEAN Air Chiefs Conference in Naypyidaw in September 2023; (b) if so, what is the rank or appointment of the most senior member of the Singapore delegation and the size of the delegation; and (c) what is the rationale behind the decision to send a video message from the Chief of Air Force for the event.

Answer

The ASEAN Air Chiefs' Conference is an annual meeting for the air forces of ASEAN Member States to discuss regional security and professional matters. There was no physical delegation to this year's conference in Naypyidaw, Myanmar. Instead, our Chief of Air Force sent a video message addressed to ASEAN Air Force Chiefs to indicate Singapore's continued support for dialogue and practical cooperation within ASEAN.
