The Australian War College delegation visited MOC, Self Defense Fleet.

On 14 May, the Australian War College delegation visited the Maritime Operation Center and had an office call with VADM OHMACHI Katsushi, Commander of the Self Defense Fleet.

Australia is our ‘Special Strategic Partner’ in the Indo-Pacific region, sharing not only universal values but also strategic security interests with us. Today, Japan-Australia relationship is becoming much closer and more important than ever.

As Japan’s security environment is becoming even severer and the collaboration between the JMSDF and the Australian Defence Force is becoming even closer. Self Defense Fleet will strengthen the collaboration with like-minded countries and promote mutual understanding through 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.
