The minister\u2019s name is Boris Pistorius.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SINGAPORE \u2014 The defense ministers of Germany and the United Kingdom have pledged to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/feindef\/2021\/11\/05\/as-europe-looks-to-the-indo-pacific-so-does-the-luftwaffe\/\" target=\"_blank\">keep up their respective military presence in the Indo-Pacific region<\/a>, while also outlining their plans for military deployments, at a regional security summit in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Britain\u2019s Ben Wallace and Germany\u2019s Boris Pistorius were speaking at their respective plenaries during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/shangri-la-dialogue\/\" target=\"_blank\">Shangri-La Dialogue<\/a> in Singapore, an event organized by the International Institute of Strategic Studies that ran June 2-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wallace said that the Royal Navy will deploy another aircraft carrier and an accompanying strike group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2023\/05\/18\/britain-to-send-an-aircraft-carrier-to-the-indo-pacific-in-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\">to the region in 2025<\/a>, following a deployment of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2020\/04\/30\/britains-new-carrier-queen-elizabeth-sets-sail-prepared-to-train-amid-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\">carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth<\/a> to the region in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also highlighted the permanent deployment of the offshore patrol vessels HMS Tamar and HMS Spey to the Indo-Pacific. Both vessels arrived in the region in 2021 and have since undertaken 16 port visits and 20 regional exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ships have also engaged in real-world missions such as sanctions monitoring in the East China Sea and disaster relief following a tsunami in Tonga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wallace also cited China\u2019s \u201cepoch-defining\u201d rise as the biggest challenge for the region, warning that \u201cnone of our most fundamental global issues can be solved without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/shangri-la-dialogue\/2023\/06\/02\/australian-prime-minister-backs-us-china-dialogue-talks-aukus-efforts\/\" target=\"_blank\">engagement with China<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBe they climate change, energy and food security, economic stagnation, tech regulation, nuclear proliferation,\u201d he said, \u201cwe must also speak plainly and acknowledge that there are also challenges from that \u2018rise\u2019 \u2014 illegal fishing, tensions in territorial waters, sovereignty disputes and debt diplomacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For his part, Pistorius confirmed in his speech that Germany will send a frigate and a supply ship to the Indo-Pacific region in 2024. A German frigate made a similar deployment in 2021, while its Eurofighter multirole combat aircraft undertook a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2022\/08\/15\/german-air-force-takes-flight-for-first-indo-pacific-deployment\/\" target=\"_blank\">deployment to the region last year<\/a>, taking part in a large-scale air combat exercise in Australia and visiting several other local countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also urged respect of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and backed the principle of freedom of navigation, which \u201ccan and should be done via non-military means\u201d to a large extent. As an example, he highlighted Germany\u2019s participation in the Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia, an international agreement dubbed ReCAAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGermany also stands ready to support all efforts to promote bilateral or multilateral confidence-building measures such as pre-notification of exercises, mutual invitation to participate in exercises, mutual site visits, inspections of military installations or arms control agreements,\u201d Pistorius said, welcoming the Biden administration\u2019s offer to enter into negotiations with Russia and China on nuclear arms control without preconditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Britain\u2019s Ben
