Inp.polri.go.id - Denpasar. The French Navy frigate Vendemiaire has arrived in Tanjung Benoa, Bali, to participate in the 2025 Multilateral Naval Exercise Komodo (MNEK).

French Ambassador to Indonesia, Fabien Penone, said on Saturday (15/2/2025) that France’s participation underscores its commitment to regional stability, maritime security, and freedom of navigation. 

“As an Indo-Pacific nation, it is essential for us to train and cooperate with regional partners,” he said, as quoted by antaranews.com.

Besides MNEK, Indonesia has also taken part in the French-led La Perouse 25 exercise. France and Indonesia share a vision of enhancing maritime security and humanitarian assistance.

Vendemiaire, a Floreal-class frigate based in New Caledonia, is tasked with sovereignty missions, humanitarian aid, and regional cooperation. Rear Admiral Guillaume Pinget confirmed that France will also deploy a Falcon 200 maritime patrol aircraft next week.

France’s participation extends beyond security, addressing global challenges like climate change and illegal activities, including illegal fishing and drug smuggling.
