FPDA members reaffirm commitment to pact, its principles

The member nations also emphasised the importance of the FPDA as a constructive, transparent and peaceful arrangement which is an integral part of the regional security architecture during the 20th FPDA Defence Chiefs’ Conference held via video conference on Wednesday .

As the FPDA continues to enhance the operational value of the exercise programme in conventional areas, it will also build capacity in areas including counter-terrorism, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief and maritime security to keep pace with the evolving security challenges, it added. "The defence chiefs also acknowledged the need for flexibility and resilience in response to the ever-changing nature of the Covid-19 pandemic and exchanged views on how exercises could still proceed safely," it said."This commitment to working together in the face of adversity represents the true strength of the FPDA.

"As this year marks the 50th Anniversary of the FPDA, the directive and roadmap will guide the development of FPDA exercises and activities, with the aim of further enhancing the FPDA’s capacity in conducting conventional and non-conventional operations and to further strengthen interoperability and interactions among the armed forces of the five-member nations of the FPDA.
