Commenting on the
evolving bilateral relationship, Royal Brunei Air Force Maj. Jofri bin Hj.
Abdullah said, "We wanted to explore new areas for defense cooperation.
Our objective is to enhance mutual confidence to promote stability in the
Pacific region." Noting the U.S. military’s emphasis in the Pacific
on engaging regional armed forces in mutually beneficial cooperative relationships,
the major concluded, "Your country’s engagement in promoting stability
and peace is reassuring."
The
Brunei officers are welcomed on board a U.S. Coast Guard Utility
