Our Chief of Navy RADM Aaron Beng attended the 13th Trans-Regional Seapower Symposium (T-RSS) in Venice, Italy from 5 to 7 Oct last week. This was the first T-RSS since the COVID-19 pandemic, and served as an excellent opportunity for navy leaders to meet face-to-face and discuss common issues of interest.
Hosted by the Italian Navy, the theme for the 13th T-RSS was "A Blue Cluster Approach in the Ocean Decade". More than 50 navies and 100 international organisations attended the symposium, and had open discussions on maritime-focused topics ranging from the environment, technology, and security.
