SINGAPORE: Representatives from 17 navies have concluded a three-day meeting in Singapore to discuss the sharing of information and maritime security.

The 4th Western Pacific Naval Symposium Maritime Security Information Exchange Seminar was hosted by the Republic of Singapore Navy at the Sheraton Towers Singapore Hotel from August 27 to 29.

Representatives from seven maritime agencies and think-tanks were also invited to participate in this year's seminar, which featured the theme "Safe and Secure Seas for All".

Apart from enhancing information sharing and promote interoperability among navies and agencies, participants of this year's meet were also updated on changes in the Regional Maritime Information Exchange, a secure website launched in 2006 to facilitate information-sharing.
