This is the best summary I could come up with:


The three-day exercises follow discussions earlier this year on joint patrols to underscore what the countries say is their commitment to closer cooperation and a rules-based order in the region.

Australia’s defence minister, Richard Marles, said the inaugural patrols represent the practical implementation of the strategic partnership signed between the two nations in September.

“Australia and the Philippines are firmly committed to a peaceful, secure and prosperous region, where sovereignty and agreed rules and norms are respected,” he said on Saturday in a joint statement with the Philippine national defence secretary, Gilberto C Teodoro Jr.

The Philippine president, Ferdinand Marcos Jr, hailed the exercises as maintaining a rules-based international order.

“This inaugural Maritime Cooperative Activity and those that may follow are a practical manifestation of the growing and deepening strategic and defense partnership between our countries,” he said on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Earlier this year, prime minister Anthony Albanese vowed to take Australia’s relationship with the Philippines to the next level, after the two nations signed closer defence and security ties.
