BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, June 12 (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force (JMSDF) JS Kashima and JS Setoyuki made port calls to Muara Port under the command of Commander of Japan Training Squadron (JTS) Rear Admiral Ishimaki Yoshiyasu with some 510 personnel including 160 newly commissioned officers onboard the ships.
