Singapore seen as best hub for German Navy's Indo-Pacific deployment
SINGAPORE — Germany's Navy chief said Tuesday that Singapore is the best location as a naval logistics hub for his country, which plans to deploy warships from 2023 to contribute to maritime security in the Indo-Pacific region.
In an article published in The Straits Times newspaper on Monday, Germany's ambassador to Singapore, Norbert Riedel, said "we are particularly concerned by the assertion of unlawful and sweeping maritime claims in the South China Sea, as well as ongoing intimidation and coercion against other states in the region in asserting their lawful rights.
The ambassador said the frigate's presence is also part of concerted European Union efforts to step up its security engagement in the region.
