The Philippines and Australia will shore up their security and economic alliance Friday with the signing of a strategic partnership,
The agreement was expected to be finalised after a meeting between Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Manila.
Without mentioning China, Marcos thanked Albanese for his “strong support” for the Philippines as it seeks to fend off maritime claims that are “not valid”. Beijing claims almost the entire sea, ignoring an international ruling that its stance has no legal basis.Philippine ex-president Rodrigo Duterte pivoted away from his country’s traditional security partners towards China, but the Marcos administration has sought to reverse that stance.
Those exercises came after a Philippine resupply mission to Second Thomas Shoal in the Spratly Islands was blocked by China Coast Guard vessels using water cannon on August 5, triggering a diplomatic spat and international outrage. Thousands of people were killed in the anti-narcotics campaign which sparked an international investigation into alleged human rights abuses.
