Philippines ‘deeply concerned’ over China’s Taiwan drills
The Philippines’ defense department said Wednesday it was “deeply concerned” over Chinese drills around Taiwan that threatened to “undermine regional peace and stability,” Azernews reports, citing Arab News.
“The Department of National Defense is deeply concerned by
China’s military and coast guard actions around Taiwan that
undermine regional peace and stability, further creating cracks in
an already fragile geopolitical environment,” defense chief
Gilberto Teodoro said in a statement.
“(The) heightened scale of coercion has implications that extend
beyond cross-Strait relations and into the broader Indo-Pacific
community,” he added.
