The Washington trilateral summit

THIS Friday , US President Joe Biden will host Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in a White House summit intended to reinforce trilateral maritime cooperation in the South China Sea.

Just last Sunday, six warships and aircraft from the United States and its allies the Philippines, Japan and Australia held a joint patrol following Chinese harassment of Philippine Navy resupply missions in the Philippines’ 200-mile Exclusive Economic Zone. The Friday summit focuses on freedom of navigation in the South China Sea. Last year, Biden hosted a similar meeting with Japan and South Korea to deal with the threat from North Korea.

Observers see tensions in the South China Sea are not going away, an issue raised in Biden’s call with China President Xi Jinping earlier on.
