Major General Hoo Cher Mou, Chief of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) arrived in New Delhi on a three day official tour of the country.

The visiting Chief of RSAF was accorded a Guard of Honour at Air Headquarters this morning. Thereafter, he met the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha, and discussed matters of mutual interest.

The Singapore Air Chief has a hectic schedule lined up for his visit. He will visit Air Force Station, Agra on Wednesday to get a firsthand account of the training pattern being followed at two of the most prestigious Air Force Establishments - the Para Troopers School (PTS) and the Mid Air Refueling Squadron (MARS). The following day he will visit Air Force Station, Kalaikunda where a team of RSAF personnel is already undergoing training as part of the 'Joint Military Training' (JMT).

The annual Air Staff Talks between the air forces of India and Singapore commenced in 2006. The IAF-RSAF JMT is an annual programme that has regularly been held since 2008. The JMT provides an ideal platform for exchange of air tactics and training philosophy to the pilots of the two countries.
