Over the time period in question (2021 to present), our defence footprint in Singapore has consisted of: the British Defence Singapore Support Unit (BDSSU) that delivers logistic support, including refuelling and resupply capabilities, from Singapore's Sembawang Naval Installation as part of the UK's contribution to the Five Power Defence Arrangements; the Defence Section including our resident Defence Adviser (DA); and the British Defence Staff South East Asia, located in the British High Commission alongside the Defence Section. Other defence assets have visited Singapore in the course of their duties since 2021 but are not stationed there.
