Mga barko mula Canada, Australia, US gumawa ng paggalaw sa South China Sea

Nagdaos ng multilateral na operasyon sa South China Sea ang mga barko mula sa Australia, Canada at Estados Unidos bago ang pagbubukas ng Balikatan exercises. Ayon sa US Pacific Fleet, isinagawa ito mula Abril 12 hanggang 18 upang suportahan ang 'free and open Indo-Pacific.' Kasama sa mga aktibidad ang tactical maneuvers, helicopter cross-decks at personnel exchanges.

Nagdaos ng pinag-isang operasyon sa South China Sea ang Royal Australian Navy frigate HMAS Toowoomba, Royal Canadian Navy frigate HMCS Charlottetown, isang Royal Canadian Air Force Super Puma helicopter, at ang US Navy dock landing ship USS Ashland na may mga Marines mula sa Task Force Ashland.

Sinabi ni Cmdr. Adam Peeples, commanding officer ng USS Ashland, na ang mga operasyon ay nagbibigay ng pagkakataon sa mga kaalyado na makipag-ugnayan, mapabuti ang interoperability at information-sharing. "Dedicated to supporting regional security" ang mga sundalo at Marines na nakilahok, ayon sa kanya.

Ang mga aksyon na ito ay naganap ilang araw bago ang pagbubukas ng pinakamalaking Balikatan exercises noong Abril 20 hanggang Mayo 8, na may mahigit 17,000 personnel mula sa Pilipinas, US at mga kaalyado tulad ng Australia, Canada, France, Japan at New Zealand. Ito ay bahagi rin ng mas maagang pagsasanay tulad ng 2024 Rim of the Pacific exercises.

Samantala, muling pinabulaanan ng Armed Forces of the Philippines na nakatuon sa China ang Balikatan. Ayon kay Rear Adm. Roy Vincent Trinidad, ito ay bahagi ng modernisasyon at depensa diplomacy, "defensive in nature" upang protektahan ang mga lehitimong karapatan ng Pilipinas.
