(1/3) Glad to catch up with His Royal Highness Prince Abdul Mateen again, this time in Singapore! We recently met in Brunei at the Singapore-Brunei Joint Parade, where we commemorated 50 years of defence relations between our countries.

(2/3) Prince Mateen is no stranger to Singapore. In 2018, he underwent Aviation Physiology Training here and returned in 2023 to visit SAFRA Choa Chu Kang. This time, we will host him for a visit to the Special Operations Task Force at Sembawang Air Base.
(1/3) This year, 🇸🇬 and 🇧🇳 mark 50 years of defence relations. I joined Prime Minister @LawrenceWongST at the Singapore-Brunei Joint Parade at Muara Naval Base to commemorate this milestone. The occasion brought back fond memories of our interactions over the years.
(2/3) I recall hosting His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah at our Multi-Mission Range Complex in 2014, when I was 2nd Minister for Defence. I remember His Royal Highness firing the SAR-21, and we even took the Light Strike Vehicle Mark-II for a drive!
During my visit to Doha, I met my counterpart, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Defence Affairs His Excellency Sheikh Saoud.
Singapore and Qatar share warm and friendly ties. We look forward to working together for the mutual benefit of both our countries. 🇸🇬🤝🇶🇦
(1/3) Training season’s never over at #XPS2026! I visited our soldiers training there & got a first-hand look at how they have been sharpening their skills & building the confidence to take on more demanding missions together.
(2/3) This year marks 10 years of SAF’s training at the Oberlausitz Military Training Area in Germany. Training grounds like OMTA give our soldiers the space to train at scale, take on more complex missions, and hone the skills & confidence needed to keep Singapore safe.
A proud moment for the Republic of Singapore Navy as we launch OPV Sentinel, our first Offshore Patrol Vessel, in Berne, Germany.
Fair winds and following seas, OPV Sentinel. ⚓️🇸🇬
(1/4) Happy to meet my friend German Federal Minister of Defence Boris Pistorius again, where we continued our conversation on recent geopolitical developments & how 🇸🇬 and 🇩🇪 can further strengthen our defence partnership!
(3/4) I also laid a wreath at the Bundweshr Memorial & inspected the Guard of Honour at the Federal Ministry of Defence.
(1/3) Met 🇫🇷 Minister for Armed Forces and Veterans @CaVautrin at the Hôtel de Brienne, after last meeting at the #SLD26 earlier this year. We exchanged views on security priorities & geopolitical developments & agreed on the importance of upholding international rules and norms.
(2/3) Had a lunch with the French Directorate General of Armaments where we discussed defence technology & cooperation, and visited Mistral AI where I saw a demonstration of their robotic capabilities.
(1/3) This photo takes me back to 2009, when I was in Guilin, China, for Exercise Cooperation, the first bilateral training exercise between the SAF and PLA. I was then serving as Chief of Staff – Joint Staff. It was a new chapter for both armed forces.
(2/3) 17 years later, it is heartening to see how those early interactions have grown into closer ties and generations of SAF and PLA personnel training together. Just last week, our navies concluded Exercise Maritime Cooperation, continuing to deepen mutual trust and friendship.
