– The Philippine government can bank on the support of the United States to protect its international rights amid the tensions stemming from the issues over disputed the West Philippine Sea, US Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim said on Tuesday.
“We believe very strongly that we all should protect international rights like freedom of navigation and freedom of life. This is why the US Navy has continued to conduct freedom of navigation operations in the South China Sea. I think it is an important reminder to all concerned including China that the US will continue to take actions to protect international rights,” he said.
“I think it is more important to note that what we’re doing in general is to work with the Philippine military and Philippine law enforcement agencies to build capacity. I am very pleased that we have such a robust partnership with AFP including the Coast Guard,” he said.
