JS KIRISAME conducted a goodwill exercise with PSS KEDAM

From July 20 to 22, JS KIRISAME conducted a goodwill exercise with PSS KEDAM in vicinity of Palau, to promote mutual understanding and friendship between JMSDF and Palau DMSFWP.
The Republic of Palau is an island nation in the Western Pacific and one of the most pro-Japanese countries in the world, where Japanese culture has strongly remained. To support the Republic of Palau by strengthening its coast guard capabilities, PSS KEDAM was provided from Japan, and now becomes a symbol of friendship.
Despite COVID-19, the Self-Defense Fleet is fully using its flexibility and mobility in order to realize a “Free and Open Indo-Pacific”, promotes cooperative relationship with friendly countries, and contributes to support stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
