On May 7, German navy's frigate and supply ship departed from Wilhelmshaven in northern Germany and other locations for the Indo-Pacific region.
This is part of the strategy to advance its involvement in the region in light of China's continuous attempts to change the status quo in the East and South China Seas, etc.
It's forecasted that they will make a port call in Tokyo in the later half of August.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said at the departure from the port that "We want to deepen our ties with the Indo-Pacific region and fix our position as a reliable entity."
The frigate and supply ship will pass through the Atlantic Ocean and enter the Pacific Ocean.
They will participate in the Rim-Pacific joint exercise hosted by the U.S. Navy and multilateral trainings including the Japan Maritime SDF.
They are scheduled to pass through the South China Sea, and it has yet been released whether or not they will pass through the Taiwan Strait.
