The second ASEAN Multilateral Naval Exercise (AMNEX 2) opened on May 12 at the Philippines’ Naval Operating Base Subic.
Naval ships from Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei, and the host Philippines joined the exercise.
Vietnam’s Deputy Chief of Staff of Naval Region 4 Colonel Nguyen Van Ngan and Lieutenant Colonel Ma Nguyen Thanh, Captain of 015-Tran Hung Dao naval ship, attended the event.
The AMNEX, first held in 2017 in Thailand, is anchored on three main pillars – interoperability, responsiveness, and readiness – to address common regional maritime concerns.
Joint exercises planned for May 13 and 14 included maritime search and rescue operation, maneuvering, and communication drills in waters off Subic Bay, the Philippines.
Amadar stressed the significance of AMNEX 2 to ASEAN member countries, saying it is intended to materialise joint commitments and take joint actions in response to maritime security challenges.

The Brigadier General noted his hope that the participation of ASEAN naval forces will contribute to strengthening cooperation and make the event a success.
Earlier, Ship 015-Tran Hung Dao of Brigade 162 participated in activities within the framework of the ASEAN-India Maritime Exercise (AIME), a workshop on humanitarian assistance and disaster reduction (HADR), professional exchange, and the International Maritime and Defence Exhibition (IMDEX) 2023, in Singapore,
AIME allows navies of ASEAN member states and India to strengthen collaboration, enhance understanding, and build confidence to address common maritime security challenges at sea.
Meanwhile, as Asia’s leading naval and maritime defence event, IMDEX Asia has mustered the world’s naval elite and the finest fleets of maritime innovations. Since its inaugural event in 1997, the maritime and defence exhibition has steered forward at the helm of the industry, becoming a platform for businesses of the sea to debut its latest vessels, systems, and technologies./.
