Barley Risotto and Kimchi: A Culinary Crossroads| SaltWire #food #cookingshorts #kimchiMANILA - Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has ordered his government to strengthen its coordination on maritime security to confront"a range of serious challenges" to territorial integrity and peace, as a dispute with China escalates.
The latest flare-up occurred last weekend, when China used water cannon to disrupt a Philippine resupply mission to the Second Thomas Shoal for soldiers guarding a warship intentionally grounded on a reef 25 years ago. The president vowed on Thursday to implement countermeasures against"illegal, coercive, aggressive and dangerous attacks" by China's coastguard.
The order appears to expand the role of the military by naming the Armed Forces of the Philippines, not just the navy, among the agencies supporting the council.
