The Philippines being
strategically located in this side of Asia has been recognized again by its
only mutual defense ally.
United
States (US) Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III hosted Philippine National
Defense Secretary Delfin N. Lorenzana at the Pentagon, September 10. “The
Philippines is a vital treaty ally. Our countries face a range of 21st century
challenges, and cooperation is key to the security, stability and prosperity of
the Indo-Pacific,” Austin said.
The
secretary mentioned that the two nations recently celebrated the 70th
anniversary of the Mutual Defense Treaty, which was signed Aug. 30, 1951. That
treaty, he said, “remains the bedrock of our alliance.”

The
decision of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to retract the decision to terminate
the visiting forces agreement (VFA) is nothing but pleasing to the US Secretary
of Defense.
The
agreement allows the DOD to conduct over 300 bilateral engagements a year with
the armed forces of the Philippines. These range from expert exchanges to ship
visits to component exercises and major joint/combined training exercises.
The
secretary said he’s looking forward to discussions on several priority areas,
including maritime cooperation, modernizing the armed forces of the
Philippines and increasing interoperability, information sharing and
investments.
“America
is committed to a sovereign and secure Philippines and to building an even
stronger alliance based on our foundation of common interest and common values.
And I look forward to discussing ways that we can deepen our partnership,”
Austin said.
The
DND Sec. said the two nations have shared goals in the Indo-Pacific region that
include a stable and secure environment.
“Regional
instability necessitates a network of effective alliances and defense
partnerships,” he said.
The
current modernization of the armed forces of the Philippines has been one of
the main areas of alliance cooperation with the United States, he said.
“I’m
optimistic that today’s discussion will continue to build on the friendship,
partnership and alliance between our two countries, which is founded on our
shared system, history and cooperation,” Lorenzana said.
