The Commander of the Royal Brunei Navy (RBN) First Admiral (FADM) Dato Seri Pahlawan Abdul Aziz Haji Mohammad Tamit called on Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen at the Ministry of Defence this morning. FADM Dato Aziz is in Singapore on his farewell visit from 3 to 5 March 2015. He had earlier called on Chief of Defence Force Lieutenant-General Ng Chee Meng and Chief of Navy Rear-Admiral Lai Chung Han, after inspecting a Guard of Honour.

The visit by FADM Dato Aziz underscores the close and long-standing bilateral defence ties between Singapore and Brunei. The Republic of Singapore Navy and the RBN engage in a wide range of interactions, which include bilateral exercises, professional exchanges and cross-attendance of courses. These interactions not only enhance the professionalism of the two navies, but also strengthen mutual understanding and personal friendships.
