Philippine military authorities said
though the the joint naval
exercise has nothing to do with
the reported Chinese incursions
in Philippine territories, according
to Armed Forces spokesman
Commodore Jose Miguel
Rodriguez.
Philstar.com reports, It has been
programmed since last year,
Rodriguez added. There has
been no announcement yet of
the specific location of the
military exercises but Navforwest
operates mainly in the Sulu Sea
and nearby waters.
Earlier the Philippines said it has
documented at least six
intrusions by China's naval boats
into Philippine sea lanes. China
denied the allegations and said
they were based on rumors.
The report said, "The planned
naval exercise, called
Cooperation Afloat Readiness
and Training or CARAT, is in
accordance with the Mutual
Defense Treaty between the
Philippines and the US, officials
said."
The Philippines said it is
preparing adiplomatic protest to
the United Nations
on the alleged intrusion by
China's naval boats in the
disputed islands.
A day after the exchange of
heated diplomatic notes in
Manila, Vietnam has joined the
already tense situation by
accusing China of their presence
in a Vietnam-occupied island
where a seismic operation is
being conducted. Vietnam claims
a Chinese naval boat has caused
damage to their seismic
equipment and facilities in the
area.
Vietnam, in an apparent move to
flex its muscle on the disputed
sea lanes said itwill conduct a
live ammunition drill in the area
on Monday.
The planned military exercise by
Vietnam is similar to the
scheduled US-Philippine war
games in the West Philippine Sea
on June 28.
The Spratly Islands are being
claimed in whole or in part by
several countries in Southeast
Asia including China, Vietnam,
Malaysia, Taiwan, Brunei and the
Philippines.
Meanwhile the US has expressed
its desire to pursue a peaceful
resolution of the on-going
tension in the Spratlys involving
six claimant countries.
Weve been troubled by some
of these reports about the South
China Sea and believe they only
serve to raise tensions and dont
help with the peace and security
of the region, said State
Department spokesman Mark
Toner.
We support a collaborative
diplomatic process... and call on
all claimants to conform all of
their claims, both land and
maritime, to international law,
he said.
