MANILA-The Philippine Army (PA) is looking at having more cooperation with its New Zealand counterpart in the field of leadership management and other personnel and military matters.
This, as New Zealand Non-Resident Defense Attache Col. Paul Michael Dragicevich made a courtesy call on Wednesday to PA Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Roberto S. Capulong at the PA headquarters in Fort Bonifacio.
"Maj. Gen. Capulong, who represented Army commanding general Lt. Gen. Romeo S. Brawner Jr. and Col. Dragicevich, discussed the possibility of conducting bilateral engagements involving the Army of the Philippines and New Zealand on leadership and management, personnel development, and cyberspace domain," PA Spokesperson Col. Xerxes Trinidad said in a statement Thursday.
Dragicevich is currently based in Tokyo, Japan.
"The PA, based on its medium-term engagement plan with the New Zealand Army, shall focus its engagements in military training and education; strengthen collaboration in technology transfers; intelligence; and, information exchanges," he said.
Capulong also opened up the possibility of tapping the New Zealand Army for the development of a PA warrant officer program and training for further professional development of senior non-commissioned officers. (PNA)
