The ‘Task Force Ayungin’ assembled in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) enhances defense alliance and interoperability between the US military and Armed
The ‘Task Force Ayungin’ assembled in the West Philippine Sea enhances defense alliance and interoperability between the US military and Armed Forces of the Philippines , enabling both parties to ensure freedom of navigation in the Indo-Pacific region.
Austin, who went on a two-day visit to the Philippines earlier this week, highlighted the role of ‘Task Force Ayungin’ in deepening the security alliance between Manila and Washington. The submerged reef lies about 200 kilometers from Palawan, which makes it legally part of the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone. China claims it despite its more than 1,000 kilometers distance from its nearest major landmass, Hainan island.
Defense cooperation between the US and the Philippines remains at the forefront of both countries’ diplomacy and the Philippines looks forward to broader engagement in that area.
