Minister for Defence Industry, Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC today launched Indo-Pacific Endeavour 19 (IPE 19), the third iteration of this activity, as it commenced with the departure of HMA Ships Canberra, Success, Newcastle, and Parramatta from Fremantle in Western Australia.
Attending the launch on behalf of the Minister for Defence, the Hon Christopher Pyne MP, Minister Reynolds said she was pleased with the level of engagement planned with Australia’s Indian Ocean Region partners over the next three months.
“The Australian Defence Force (ADF) enjoys a long-standing relationship with security forces throughout South and Southeast Asia,” Minister Reynolds said.
“These relationships are strengthened by annual exercises and engagements, such as the Indo-Pacific Endeavour series.”
Minister Pyne said building interoperability with key partners and improving coordination of humanitarian and security responses is a priority for Defence.
“IPE 19 is a major regional engagement activity for the ADF, which delivers on the promise of the 2016 Defence White Paper to strengthen Australia’s engagement and partnerships with regional security forces,” Minister Pyne said.
“Our strong and enduring relationships with regional militaries, governments and local communities are critical to this.”
1000 embarked ADF personnel will carry out a series of engagement activities and military training exercises during port visits in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.
Minister Reynolds said IPE 19 will incorporate Australia’s defence industry into the port visits.
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to demonstrate the Australian Defence capacity across the spectrum of ADF activities during IPE19, with defence industry representatives participating to highlight their products and services,” Minister Reynolds said.
“The Liberal National Government is committed to Australian small and medium enterprises in the defence industry and ensuring they have every chance of exporting success.”
The Joint Task Force will showcase some of the state-of-the-art capabilities to the host nations, including the Canberra-class landing helicopter dock Ship, HMAS Canberra.
The first port call for HMAS Canberra will be Colombo, Sri Lanka.
