“Nowadays the trend of the armed forces around the world is really to be able to operate with other armies.
“The interoperability is very important because if we look at the conflicts that are happening around the world — for instance, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine — interoperability is very important,” he also said.“It has to start with training,” he said. “That’s why if we can be allowed to train with other partners like South Korea, Australia, Japan, and even other partners in Asean, it would be more beneficial not just for the Philippine government but not only for the Armed Forces of the Philippines but also — I believe — also for their armed forces. It would be mutually beneficial,” he added.
Brawner made the reaction to the suggestion of Cagayan de Oro City Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, who said the country should bolster its defense and security cooperation not only with Japan but with other countries like Canada, New Zealand, and South Korea.
