SINGAPORE: Singapore and Indonesia launched a new defence alumni initiative on Tuesday (Jul 14), aimed at bringing together generations of military officers from both countries.<\/p>\n
Singapore Minister for Defence Chan Chun Sing and his Indonesian counterpart Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin launched the Indonesia-Singapore (INDOSIN) Defence Alumni initiative in Jakarta, where they signed the alumni’s initiating directive and unveiled its logo, said Singapore’s Ministry of Defence (MINDEF).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe alumni brings together generations of Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and Indonesian National Defence Forces (TNI) officers who have participated in each other\u2019s courses and training,\u201d said MINDEF.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will enable these officers to maintain their personal and professional ties beyond active service, strengthening people-to-people ties between Singapore and Indonesia across generations.\u201d<\/p>\n
The initiative is known as Persahabatan Alumni Pertahanan, or PERSAHAN, a name that combines the Indonesian words for “friendship” and “defence alumni”.<\/p>\n
The chiefs of the defence forces of Singapore and Indonesia will be the co-presidents of the alumni to guide its plans and activities, MINDEF said. The co-presidents may also invite other SAF and TNI officers who have contributed significantly to bilateral relations between the two armed forces.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The alumni\u2019s membership will also include current and former defence attach\u00e9s to Singapore and Indonesia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
