Australia, Japan, Philippines, and United States Conduct joint drills off Philippines
The combined armed and defense
forces of Australia, Japan, the Philippines, and the United States,
demonstrating a collective commitment to strengthen regional and
international cooperation in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific,
will conduct a Multilateral Maritime Cooperative Activity within the
Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone, Feb. 5, 2025.
The naval and air force units of participating
nations will operate together to enhance cooperation and
interoperability. The activity will be conducted in a manner consistent
with international law and with due regard for the safety of navigation,
and the rights and interests of other States.
This underscores our shared commitments to
upholding the right to freedom of navigation and overflight, other
lawful uses of the sea and international airspace, as well as respect
for maritime rights under international law, as reflected in the UN
Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
