November 1, 2024
London – The United Kingdom will join Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States in Exercise BERSAMA LIMA 24 (Exercise BL24), a multinational naval exercise designed to enhance interoperability and strengthen security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region.
Exercise BL24 will take place in the South China Sea and will involve a range of naval operations, including surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, and air defense. The exercise will also include amphibious operations and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief drills.
The United Kingdom is committed to maintaining a rules-based international order in the Indo-Pacific, and Exercise BL24 is a key part of this effort. The exercise will help to build trust and cooperation between the participating nations, and it will demonstrate the UK’s commitment to the region.
“Exercise BERSAMA LIMA 24 is an important opportunity to strengthen security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific,” said UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace. “The UK is committed to maintaining a rules-based international order in the region, and this exercise will help to build trust and understanding between our nations.”
Exercise BL24 is the latest in a series of multinational exercises that the UK has participated in in the Indo-Pacific region. In recent years, the UK has also participated in Exercise Malabar with India, Japan, and the United States, and Exercise Talisman Sabre with Australia.
The UK’s participation in these exercises demonstrates the UK’s commitment to the Indo-Pacific region. The UK is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, and it has a long history of cooperation with countries in the region. The UK is also a member of the Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA), a regional defense grouping that includes Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.
Exercise BL24 is a valuable opportunity to strengthen security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. The UK is committed to maintaining a rules-based international order in the region, and this exercise will contribute to that goal.
