The Philippines and United States navies are set to hold a two-week joint naval activity to strengthen international defense cooperation,
In a statement, AFP Public Affairs Office Chief, Lt. Enrico Ileto said the naval warfare activities, dubbed “Samasama Exercise,” would run from October 2 to 12 at the Naval Forces Southern Luzon area of operations.
Nations present at the two-day conference in New Delhi included Vietnam and the Philippines, both of which have long-standing pending territorial disputes with China. “The training will also strive to further improve maritime integration and combined interoperability with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force , Royal Australian Navy, Royal Canadian Navy , and the United Kingdom Royal Navy through subject-matter expert exchanges and humanitarian assistance and disaster response table-top events,” said Ileto.
Beijing has long said that any effort to establish a NATO-like military alliance in the Asia-Pacific would provoke conflict.
