FSMIS (April 8, 2014): In a November 13, 2013 letter to FSM
Secretary of Justice Mrs. April Skilling, Senator David Johnston, Minister of
Defence for the Australian Government, expressed his Government's appreciation
for the participation of the Federated States of Micronesia in Australia's most
recent International Fleet Review, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the
Royal Navy's entry into Sydney Harbour.
The event, which took place on October 4, 2013, was hailed a
"significant event for the Australian Defence Force and the Australian
nation".
The FSS Micronesia
represented the Nation's fleet at the maritime section of the FSM National
Police, showcasing maneuver skills in such operation, acting among military
vessels representing other participating countries.
Senator Johnston wrote, "Australia values its
relationship with the Federated States of Micronesia and I welcome our security
cooperation through the Pacific Patrol Boat Program...I look forward to our
continuing engagement on Pacific issues and Defence participation at the
Maritime Security Cooperation Talks in 2014".
The Maritime Security Cooperation Talks between Australia and
the FSM were held on February 24 in Palikir.
