Terror, disaster aid drills eyed

Singapore plans to co-host a regional anti-terrorist exercise while Thailand has agreed to organise a drill on humanitarian assistance and disaster mitigation.

The plans were announced at a meeting between Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon and his Singaporean counterpart, Ng Eng Hen, in Moscow.

Gen Prawit is attending a meeting of Asean and Russian defence ministers in Moscow. The visit to Russia is the second in just over two months for Gen Prawit, who met Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in February.

The talks are being held alongside the fifth Moscow International Security Conference. Gen Prawit also has scheduled to have talks with the defence ministers of Laos, Myanmar, Russia, and Vietnam. (Courtesy of Bangkok Post: News)
