The Philippine Army on Friday met with its counterparts in Phnom Penh, Cambodia to reaffirm strong defense partnership for both nations.
Army Spokesperson Colonel Louie Dema-ala said that their Commanding General Lieutenant General Roy Galido and Royal Cambodian Army Commander General Mao Sophan discussed a sustained level of engagement between both armies.
“Both Army Chiefs discussed the sustained level of engagement between PA and the Cambodian Army which primarily focuses on regional cooperation and interoperability,” Dema-ala explained.
Galido, on the other hand, expressed his gratitude after the 1st PA-RCA Army Working Group and further hope for upcoming cooperation in all level exchanges, counter-terrorism bilateral exercises, and peacekeeping operations.
Moreover, both Armies also discussed the upcoming 2024 Asian Defense and Security (ADAS) and the ASEAN Armies Annual Meet (AAAM) that will be held in Metro Manila which would foster mutual understanding and build lasting partnerships between nations.
