Sweden and Singapore, represented by FMV Test and Evaluation and the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA), are entering a long-term agreement to collaborate on joint mutually beneficial studies in the land systems domain. The agreement continues and strengthens the long-standing partnership between the two nations.
The agreement was signed at a ceremony on the sidelines of the Singapore Defence Technology Summit last month.
“This partnership with FMV will establish avenues for greater collaboration and sharing between the two nations,” said DSTA Deputy Chief Executive Roy Chan. “Exchanging insights with organisations that have deep technical expertise will ensure our forces are better equipped for the defence challenges of tomorrow.”
“The new collaboration agreement is a clear sign of the Swedish determination to deliver on the strategy and to forge and maintain strong and long-term relations with Singapore, a very appreciated and important partner to Sweden and FMV,” said FMV Army Division Director Brigadier General Jonas Lotsne. “The collaboration is also fully aligned with the Swedish defence cooperation strategy in the Pacific.”
Attending the ceremony was a delegation from the Swedish Ministry of Defence headed by Brigadier General Patric Hjorth. The DSTA delegation also included Land Systems Director Alex Lee and other representatives.
