(MENAFN- AzerNews) Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Monday visited German navy
headquarters in Rostock, and observed a multinational exercise in
the Baltic Sea, amid heightened tensions with Russia, Aznews
reports, citing Anadolu Agency.
Scholz watched the naval exercise from the German frigate
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and took a briefing from navy commanders on
maritime security, protection of critical infrastructure, and
capabilities of the naval force.
Besides German navy ships and submarines, warships from NATO
allies France, Spain and Portugal also participated in the naval
exercise.
German frigate Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was deployed in the region
at the beginning of this year, after Germany assumed leadership of
NATO's Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF) for 12
months.
