The two nations are allies bound by the Mutual Defense Treaty of 1951 — which the dialogue tackled as it resolved, among other things, to fully implement the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement of 2014.
It further cited the BSD as saying that it “highlighted” Subic Bay as a priority, with regard to “high quality, private sector-led infrastructure investment as a means of supporting economic growth and enhancing connectivity in the Philippines.”Soon after the dialogue, Ely Ratner, US assistant secretary of defense for Indo-Pacific security affairs, tweeted on Saturday Ford’s visit at the Agila Subic Shipyard, which Carlson had earlier visited.
“Subic offers opportunities for the US and Philippine navies to strengthen mutual defense and enhance interoperability,” Ratner said.The strategically located commercial shipyard faces the West Philippine Sea and is located 260 kilometers from Chinese-controlled Panatag Shoal. In a forum hosted by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies early this month, Philippine ambassador to the US Jose Romualdez said “it [was] very opportune that the United States came into the picture.”
