Other naval ships from participating countries also reached the island as well.
Themed “Cooperation for Stability“, the Komodo exercise will focus on humanitarian aid and disaster relief with the participation of the navies.
The exercise is hoped to boost cooperation among ASEAN member countries and to maintain the central role of ASEAN in disaster relief in particular and regional security issues in general.
