At least two delegations of US officials have held talks with the top brass of the Wesmincom in Zamboanga City, one of the largest military installations in Mindanao, ahead of the August 6 visit to the country of Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
Last Sunday, Greene also visited the Special Operations Task Force 511.2, a team of US servicemen based at Camp Don Basilio Navarro, which is providing capacity-building support for Wesmincom’s efforts to fight terrorism, among others.
On July 27, Carlos Del Toro, US Secretary of the Navy, met with Lieutenant General Alfredo Rosario Jr., Wesmincom chief, to be apprised of the efforts exerted by US troops to support Westmincom’s campaign against terrorism and insurgency. On July 26, Simon Hayter, first secretary of the political section of the Australian Embassy in the Philippines, met with Rosario and talked about security updates and the normalization program for former Moro rebels in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
