On Tuesday, Vietnam and the Philippines reached an agreement to enhance collaboration between their coastguards, aiming to prevent potential incidents in the South China Sea.
This announcement was made during a state visit to Hanoi by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Both nations in Southeast Asia have conflicting territorial claims in certain areas of the South China Sea, a vital passage for approximately $3 trillion in annual ship-borne trade, with China asserting nearly complete ownership of the region.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines have released new footage showing Chinese coast guard sailors brandishing knives, an axe, and other weapons in a recent clash with Philippine naval vessels near the strategic Ayungin Shoal in the South China Sea. The confrontation occurred as Philippine forces attempted a critical resupply mission to marines stationed on the derelict warship BRP Sierra Madre.

A significant maritime incident occurred on Monday, intensifying tensions between China and the Philippines. A collision between a Chinese Coast Guard vessel and a Philippine navy boat has led to conflicting narratives from the two nations, highlighting the ongoing territorial disputes in the region. The collision took place as the Philippine naval vessel attempted a resupply run to the BRP Sierra Madre, an antiquated tank landing vessel grounded intentionally on the Second Thomas Shoal since 1999. This vessel, originally constructed for the US Navy during World War II, now serves as a critical outpost for the Philippine military.
