💨 Abstract

Australia and the Philippines announced a joint maritime activity with Japan, New Zealand, and the United States in the Philippines' exclusive economic zone, a sensitive area in Asia. The exercise aims to strengthen regional and international cooperation for a peaceful, stable, and prosperous Indo-Pacific. The move follows disputes between the Philippines and China over the South China Sea, including the Scarborough Shoal.
