In a recent development concerning the South China Sea, the Philippines has denied any 'temporary special arrangement' with China regarding the supply of troops on the Ayungin Shoal, contradicting earlier statements from China. The Chinese coastguard had claimed it temporarily allowed the Philippines to provide food and water to soldiers stationed at the BRP Sierra Madre. Meanwhile, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. emphasized maritime cooperation as a key focus and one of the 'cornerstones' during his state visit to Vietnam, where both countries agreed to enhance cooperation among their coastguards and to prevent incidents in the disputed waters. This agreement, formalized through two memoranda of understanding, comes despite both nations having competing claims in the South China Sea, a region through which $3 trillion of ship-borne trade passes annually.
