<p>The UK already has strong ties with allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region,
reinforced by regular exercises and operations. We maintain the UK Garrison in Brunei
and UK-managed military facilities in Singapore. The UK will continue to deepen bilateral
and multilateral defence engagement in the region - for example, in recently re-establishing
the resident Defence Adviser post in Sri Lanka and applying for Observer Status on
two of the Association of Southeastern Asian Nations Defence Ministers' Meeting Plus
Expert Working Groups.</p>
