In addition, the Ministry of Defence also funds the training of our regional partners, both on a bilateral basis and by holding regional forums, in the responsibilities and obligations associated with the declaration of Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs), as well as the wider application of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
