"I plan a joint exercise at ASEAN level involving ASEAN navies. I will ask them (ASEAN navy chiefs) to approve it," he said.
Several ASEAN member states, including Singapore and Malaysia, have agreed with the plan, he informed.
"We have talked with Malaysia and Singapore. Of course, it (the plan for joint exercise) must secure a seal of approval from all member states. In 2023, we will hold a joint exercise, particularly for ASEAN member states. Later, if other countries wish to join it, we will discuss the wish later on," he added./.
