Colombian Navy joins Combined Maritime Forces

The Colombian Navy has joined the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF), the world’s largest multinational maritime coalition. This move marks a significant milestone in the country’s international naval projection and strategic positioning within global maritime security.

Participation in the CMF aims to address threats in critical waterways, including the Bab el-Mandeb, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Red Sea. Stability in these regions is vital for global trade, hydrocarbon prices, and international logistics chains. The Colombian Navy intends to contribute its experience in combating narcotics and asymmetric threats to the coalition's security operations.
