有鉴于全球冠状病毒19 疫情仍持续,新加坡武装部队已决定今年暂停所有大规模海外军事演习,包括每年都在澳洲举行的“袋鼠”演习(Exercise Wallaby)。

国防部在今日(12日)发文告表示,所有大规模的海外演习暂停。若疫情有个赛山,新加坡才会持续在澳洲的较小规模培训活动,惟必须遵守安全需求,以避免病毒传播。

“袋鼠”演习自1990年来就延续至今,是武装部队最大型的海外演习,在昆士兰州的肖尔沃特湾训练区(SWBTA)进行。

国防部感谢澳洲政府和国防部、以及当地居民常年来对我部队的支持。该部也强调,新澳双边防御关系仍牢固,在澳洲昆士兰中部和北部,两国共同开罚的训练去和现金培训措施,将强化防御合作,使两国部队受惠。
