The Egyptian Naval Forces in co-operation with their Greek counterparts have carried out joint drills within the range of the Northern Fleet in the Mediterranean Sea.
This comes as part of the keenness of the Egypt’s Military Command of the Armed Forces to exchange expertise and conduct joint trainings with their friendly and sisterly countries with the aim of achieving common interests.
Egypt’s frigate “Al Moez” carried out a fleeting naval training with the Greek frigate SZEF “HS IKARIA” within the range of the Northern Fleet.
The exercises included conducting a set of various naval combat activities aimed at strengthening maritime security procedures in the Mediterranean and to assess surface and air threats to international trade and navigation movements in areas of common interest along with maintaining maritime security and stability in the region.
The drills also aim to prepare the navies of Egypt and Greece to work homogeneously within a joint force charged with the tasks of maintaining maritime security to confront threats to the international freedom of navigation and the flow of global trade.
