The United States and the Philippines have agreed to restart joint patrols in the South China Sea as the longtime allies seek to counter China's military rise, a US Defense Department statement said.

WASHINGTON - The United States and the Philippines have agreed to restart joint patrols in the South China Sea as the longtime allies seek to counter China's military rise, a US Defense Department statement said.

During a visit to Manila by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, he and Philippine counterpart Carlito Galvez "agreed to restart joint maritime patrols in the South China Sea to help address challenges," the statement said Thursday. The agreements come as the allies seek to repair ties that were fractured under previous Philippine President Duterte, who favored China over his country's former colonial master.Beijing's growing assertiveness on Taiwan and its building of bases in the disputed South China Sea have given fresh impetus to Washington and Manila to strengthen their partnership.

The agreement on joint patrols was made "at the last minute" of Thursday's defense talks between Austin and Galvez, a senior Philippines official told AFP on Friday.
