His Excellency Ambassador of Spain to Japan and CESEDEN (Centro Superior de Estudios de la Defensa Nacional) delegation visited MOC, Self Defense Fleet.

On 15 June, His Excellency Ambassador of Spain to Japan and CESEDEN (Centro Superior de Estudios de la Defensa Nacional) delegation visited the Maritime Operation Center and had an office call with VADM OMACHI Katsushi, Commander, Self-Defense Fleet.

Spain is a strategic partner that shares fundamental values with Japan. Japan and Spanish Navy have been carried out joint exercises mainly in the Gulf of Aden to improve the capabilities for anti-piracy and to strengthen cooperation. During this courtesy call, we exchanged views on strengthening our future cooperation.

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.
