LUMUT - In a display of bilateral cooperation and defense diplomacy ties, the Royal Malaysian Navy's (RMN) KD JEBAT and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's (JMSDF) JS SAZANAMI recently engaged in a Passage Exercise (PASSEX) at the Malacca Strait on February 13, 2024.

This joint naval maneuver echoed the recent engagement between the RMN and JMSDF during JS SAZANAMI's Goodwill Visit to Malaysia.

The PASSEX, meticulously planned and executed, not only enhances the operational capabilities of both navies but also facilitates the exchange of best practices and fosters mutual understanding between the two maritime forces.
