MANILA – The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) said Sunday that it strengthened defense ties with its German counterpart following high-level discussions by ranking officials in Munich.

In a Facebook post Sunday, the AFP said its Chief of Staff, Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr., and Bundeswehr (Germany Armed Forces) Chief of Defense Gen. Carsten Breuer “reinforced their commitment to closer military cooperation” during a meeting at the Munich Security Conference on Feb. 14.

The meeting focused on expanding collaboration in key areas such as cyber warfare, military education and training, and maritime cooperative activities.

The AFP said the engagement aims to enhance the interoperability and capabilities in addressing shared security challenges.

“The strengthened cooperation between the AFP and the German Armed Forces aligns with the Philippines’ broader efforts to fortify international defense partnerships and maintain regional stability,” the AFP said. — Priam Nepomuceno (PNA)
