SINGAPORE: Singapore and Indonesia have discussed jointly developing military training facilities in West Kalimantan, Baturaja and the Siabu Air Weapons Range, which will give both militaries more opportunities to learn from each other, said Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing.

Besides a possible project in Baturaja in South Sumatra for army training and another in Pekanbaru in Riau for air force training, Singapore’s special forces will carry out inaugural training in West Kalimantan in the coming months “to try out the facilities in the area”, he said on Wednesday (Aug 6).
