Jakarta (ANTARA) – Canadian warship Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Calgary made a port of call in Jakarta on July 1-3 whilst sailing through the Indo-Pacific on Operation Projection. HMCS Calgary’s deployment on Operation Projection reflects Canada’s commitment to global peace and security and an opportunity to build ties and hone interoperability with partner nations, according to a press statement by the Canadian Embassy in Jakarta received here on Friday. The ship will conduct cooperative deployment with the Indonesian Naval Ship KRI Bung Tomo on July 3 before heading to the coast of Australia where it will practice interoperability with Australian, American, and other regional partners during Exercise Talisman-Sabre. Exercise Talisman-Sabre is the largest bilateral combined training activity between the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the United States military. Canadian Ambassador to Indonesia, Cameron MacKay, accompanied by Canadian Ambassador to ASEAN, Diedrah Kelly, visited the ship at the Port of Tanjung Priok on Friday where they were both welcomed by the ship’s crew that remained onboard the ship. “HMCS Calgary’s visit to Jakarta is a concrete demonstration of Canada’s growing partnership with Indonesia and our joint commitment to peace, security, sustainability, and prosperity at home and abroad,” Ambassador MacKay stated. “HMCS Calgary is very glad to have the opportunity to work with our Indonesian partners as we sail through the Indo-Pacific on Operation Projection. Maintaining interoperability between our nations is important to ensuring regional peace and maritime security,” Commander Mark O’Donohue, the commanding officer at HMCS Calgary, remarked. HMCS Calgary has been deployed since February. On Operation Projection, the ship has, so far, visited Brunei, Vietnam, and Singapore. The Canadian warship recently travelled to the Middle Eastern waters for the counterterrorism mission Operation Artemis where they conducted maritime interdiction and security operations with the 34-nation coalition Combined Maritime Forces and Canadian-led Combined Task Force 150. On Operation Artemis, HMCS Calgary was successful in breaking the record for the largest amount of heroin seized, largest quantity of impounding, and maximum quantity of illicit narcotics seized by any ship on a rotation in the history of deployment. With the conclusion of Operation Artemis, the ship is again on Operation Projection. After Australia, the ship is scheduled to visit New Zealand and Fiji before returning to Canada in September.
