Three Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force vessels will dock at the Cambodia's Sihanoukville Autonomous Port from Feb. 17 to Feb. 20, according to a press release from the Japanese embassy here on Wednesday.

The vessels, namely Akebono, Hatakaze and Yamayuki, are led by Captain Kazuhiko Mizoe, commander of the Escort Division 11 of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, the press release said.

"The objectives of the visit are to strengthen friendship between Japan and Cambodia through various exchange programs as well as to give opportunities for approximately 110 cadet school graduates to learn about culture and military in Cambodia," it said.
