The UK Joint Services Command and Staff College delegation visited to MOC, Self Defense Fleet.

On 24 April, the UK Joint Services Command and Staff College delegation visited the Maritime Operation Center and had an office call with VADM OHMACHI Katsushi, Commander of the Self Defense Fleet.

As Japan’s security environment is becoming increasingly severe, the two countries have been enhancing not only the cooperation between the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the British Armed Forces but also the one between the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and the Royal Navy. The Self Defense Fleet will continue to strengthen the collaboration with like-minded countries and promote mutual understanding through such defense exchanges.

The Self Defense Fleet maintains readiness and contributes to the peace and stability of the Indo-Pacific region, not only for the defense of Japan but also for the realization of a “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” in cooperation with allied and like-minded navies.
