The United States Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Michael Mullen is on an introductory visit here from 20 to 23 Jul.

He called on Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean on 21 Jul at the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF).

Admiral Mullen's visit underscores the excellent defence relations between Singapore and the United States, and the longstanding co-operation between both navies.

The US Navy and Republic of Singapore Navy interact regularly through bilateral and multilateral exercises, ship visits, technology collaboration and cross-attendance of training courses. These interactions have strengthened the interoperability between both navies and enhanced the mutual understanding and rapport among their personnel.

At MINDEF, Admiral Mullen also called on Chief of Defence Force Lieutenant-General Ng Yat Chung and Chief of Navy Rear-Admiral Ronnie Tay. He will also be calling on Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and visiting Changi Naval Base.
