The secretaries of foreign affairs and defense of the Philippines and the United States will hold a high-level meeting in Washington in April to boost their political and military engagement in the face of China’s position in the South China Sea.
“The 2+2 is scheduled sometime in the middle of April,” Romualdez said at the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines Prospects forum in Makati City. Manila this month denounced the Chinese Coast Guard’s pointing of a military-grade laser at a passing Philippine supply vessel near Ayungin Soal on Feb. 6.
Washington called China’s actions “dangerous” and a “threat to regional peace and security” as it renewed its commitment to defend the Philippines against aggression in the South China Sea.
