Both the countries mark 70 years of diplomatic relations
MANILA - The Philippines and Germany on Sunday committed to signing a defence cooperation arrangement this year, vowing to stand for the international rules-based order in the Indo-Pacific region.
Teodoro said the Philippines, seeking to modernise its military to boost external defence, will be "looking to engage Germany as a possible supplier of these capabilities". China claims sovereignty over most of the South China Sea, including areas claimed as exclusive economic zones by Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. In 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague said Beijing's claims had no legal basis. China rejects that decision.
Teodoro said the Philippines was not provoking China and did not seek war, but reiterated Manila's stance that the only cause of conflict in the waterway "is China's illegal and unilateral attempt to appropriate most if not all of the South China Sea".
