..."Security partners across continents
In the near future, any German naval unit bound for Asia may take a less controversial route. Former NATO general Egon Ramms expects such trips to be more frequent, following on from NATO's new Strategic Concept, which also emphasizes cooperation with partners in the Indo-Pacific.
While German fighter pilots were flying low over northern Australia in August, Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles was touring Germany. In an opinion piece for the national newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Marles wrote that he was impressed with the rapid deployment of the Bundeswehr jets and saw this as a sign of the "growing resolve of German-Australian cooperation on security issues in the region."
