Earlier this week, our Chief of Navy Rear Admiral (RADM) Sean Wat conducted a working visit to France. He was accompanied by Commander Naval Diving Unit (NDU) Colonel (COL) Francis Goh and Head Naval Intelligence Senior Lieutenant Colonel (SLTC) Tung Wanling.
During the visit, RADM Wat met with his counterpart, the Chief of Naval Staff French Navy (Marine Nationale) Admiral (ADM) Nicolas Vaujour. Both chiefs reaffirmed the warm bilateral relationship between our navies, and discussed opportunities for continued cooperation.
RADM Wat, accompanied by ADM Vaujour, reviewed the Guard of Honour at the French Ministry of Defense in Paris.
During their visit to Toulon, France, RADM Wat visited the Headquarters of Admiral Commanding the Naval Action Force (ALFAN), where he met with ALFAN Vice Admiral (VADM) Christophe Cruzel.
