The navies of Singapore and Sweden are conducting their annual mine countermeasures exchange programme in Karlskrona, Sweden, from 20 to 30 Sep.

This is the tenth time the programme, codenamed Lejon Singa, is being held.

This year, participants will focus on sea training and diving. They will also work on neutralising explosive ordnance and other improvised explosives.

Both navies have a longstanding relationship. Regular exchanges like Lejon Singa have further enhanced professional ties between the two navies.
