Swedish Navy Chief of Staff Makes Introductory Visit to Singapore Swedish Navy Chief of Staff Makes Introductory Visit to Singapore 07 Oct 2016 The Chief of Staff of the Royal Swedish Navy (RSwN) Rear-Admiral (RADM) Jens Nykvist called on Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen at the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) this afternoon. RADM Nykvist, who is in Singapore from 7 to 10 October 2016 for an introductory visit, also inspected a Guard of Honour at MINDEF and called on Chief of Defence Force Lieutenant-General Perry Lim and Chief of Navy RADM Lai Chung Han. 1 Both sides reaffirmed the strong defence partnership and long-standing friendship between Singapore and Sweden, and expressed their commitment to continue building closer ties. RADM Nykvist, as well as Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) senior officers and Defence Science and Technology Agency personnel, will attend a reception this evening hosted by the Swedish Ambassador to Singapore to commemorate 20 years of submarine cooperation between the RSN and RSwN. RADM Nykvist will also visit Changi Naval Base on 10 October. The RSN and the RSwN share a strong defence partnership since the 1990s, following Singapore's acquisition and operation of Swedish-designed mine-countermeasure vessels and Archer-class and Challenger-class submarines. These collaborations include the sharing of expertise through mine-countermeasure exchange programmes and submarine training and operations, which have increased the RSN's operational readiness to secure the seaward defence of Singapore. Working with the RSwN has also deepened Singapore's Defence Technology Community's knowledge in defence system management, particularly in areas such as life cycle management and obsolescence management. Apart from knowledge sharing, the RSN and RSwN also engage regularly on a wide range of professional exchanges, visits, exercises and cross-attendance of courses. These interactions have enhanced the professionalism of the RSN, and deepened the cooperation and rapport between the officers and men of both navies. 2 .

Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite Default screen Koh: Seeking Balance SEEKING BALANCE Force Projection, Confidence Building, and the Republic of Singapore Navy Swee Lean Collin Koh espite the widespread proliferation of studies on the major navies in DAsia, first and foremost that of China, writings on the small navies of Asia—Southeast Asia in particular—have been few and far between. The slant toward those major navies is warranted by their influence on the regional na- val balance of power. However, it scarcely does justice to the small navies of Southeast Asia, a region of huge maritime geostrategic importance with po- tential security ramifications for wider Asian and global maritime security. Southeast Asia is also the scene of an interesting and serious buildup of sophis- ticated naval capabilities. This article therefore attempts to redress, at least partially, the dearth of inter- est in the small navies in Southeast Asia, using the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) as a case study.

  • Försvarsmaktens Gemensamma Identitet – Direktiv För Användandet Av Försvarsmaktens Namn, Profil Och Bild
    Försvarsmaktens gemensamma identitet – direktiv för användandet av Försvarsmaktens namn, profil och bild Grafisk profil 2013 EN PROFIL. EN FÖRSVARSMAKT. Att ha en tydlig grafisk profil är viktigt för alla organisationer, så även för Försvarsmakten. Ett av de främsta skälen är att mot- tagaren måste förstå att det är Försvarsmakten som är avsändare. Utgångspunkten för vår grafiska profil är en Försvarsmakt med respekt och tilltro till organisationens mångfald, historia och tra- ditioner. Varje logotyp har sitt bestämda användningsområde och tillfälle. Vi måste redan i fred skapa förtroende kring vår förmåga till väpnad insats. En enhetlig grafisk profil som visar på fasthet och konsekvens bidrar på ett naturligt sätt till att betona detta. Därför ska den grafiska profilen tillämpas av alla i Försvarsmakten. Profilen kan naturligtvis inte vara heltäckande. Men den pekar ut en riktning och idé som ska efterlevas. Detta direktiv komplet- teras en gång om året. InFoS tar gärna emot synpunkter och önskemål om komplette- ringar av beskrivningar och mallar. Försvarsmaktens gemensamma identitet beslutas av informa- tionsdirektören.

It focuses on three interrelated aspects of scholarship which go to the root of understanding the nature and significance of international criminal justice in the broader context of globalization and global governance. These include: the theoretical and methodological problems posed by the development of international and comparative criminal justice; comparative contextual analysis; the reciprocal relationship between comparative and international criminal justice and contributions which endeavor to build understandings of global justice on foundations of comparative contextual analysis.
