Crew of Philippine and Vietnamese vessels blasted a boat with water cannon and simulated a search and rescue on Friday, in the first such joint exercises between coast guards of two countries that have faced off with Beijing in the South China Sea.
The exercises are the latest collaboration between countries that are locked in long-running disputes with Beijing over territory in the South China Sea, or concerned about freedom of navigation and activities of Chinese vessels in the key trade route. “We hope for more of these activities because the sea is large and many will need assistance from the coast guard.”
China claims sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea, which it asserts through a large deployment of coast guard in areas that include the exclusive economic zones of its neighbours.
