Commanders expressed their determination to encourage development of relationship helping task forces resolve anti-piracy problems jointly.

"We had a fruitful meeting. Our meeting will certainly help us to work together to tackle piracy in the region. We are all actors in the same area and good cooperation between our forces will enhance the effectiveness in keeping the shipping lanes safe as well as mutual understanding of the NATO and Russian units", pointed out Rear Admiral Tosun.

At present, the admiral heads Standing NATO Maritime Group 2 (SNMG2) consisting of Turkish frigate Giresun, Danish support ship Absalon, Italian frigate Grecale, British support ship Fort Victoria, American frigate De Wert, and Danish airplane Challenger 640.
