Philippines and Japan sign defence pact, with eyes on China
Monday, 8 July 2024 The Philippines and Japan have signed a reciprocal access agreement to deploy forces on each other's soil, enhancing military cooperation. The deal aims to address rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific region, particularly concerning China's maritime claims. Both countries are strengthening defense ties to bolster deterrence capabilities.
Philippines-Japan defense pact is an oblivion of Japan’s crimes in WWII. It’s a duty for the Filipino government to always remind its people of what Japan did, rather than enabling Japan to send its troops once again to the Philippines. #ThinkBigger #VictorGao #Philippines #Japan #US #China
