Japan Joins US, Philippines in Naval Drills Near South China Sea

Date: 29-mar-2025

Japan Conducts Joint Naval Drills with US and Philippines in South China Sea

The Japanese Navy joined forces with the United States and the Philippines for naval exercises near the contested Scarborough Shoal on March 29, 2025. The drills aim to strengthen maritime cooperation and promote freedom of navigation in response to China's aggressive claims in the region.

This trilateral exercise involved surface combat ships, helicopters, and surveillance operations. The move is seen as a message of unity among allies against unilateral attempts to change the status quo in international waters.

The Scarborough Shoal remains a flashpoint in the South China Sea territorial disputes, and Japan's participation signals a growing security role beyond its immediate region.
