Egyptian and French naval forces carried out maritime training across the northern Mediterranean during the crossing of the French frigate ‘PROVENCE’ and supply ship ‘MARNE’ to the Suez Canal, with the participation of an Egyptian frigate.
The training included the implementation of realistic scenarios to confront threats to maritime security, combating terrorism and piracy, training to protect vital oil and gas platforms against non-stereotyped threats, and the implementation of qualitative training of French helicopters with the Egyptian and French naval units, and more.
The training aims to standardize operational concepts and exchange experience to achieve stability and maritime security in the region.
