Australia shares the Philippines’ deep concerns at dangerous actions by China’s Coast Guard near Sandy Cay. Using water cannons and sideswiping civilian Philippine vessels endangers lives and harms regional stability. International law, particularly UNCLOS, must be respected.

It was great to welcome 🇦🇺 Ambassador for Counter-Terrorism Gemma Huggins to the 🇵🇭 this week. I look forward to continuing our strong partnership to combat terrorism and emerging threats in our region.

Three Filipino leaders from DFA Philippines 🇵🇭, Philippine Navy and Philippine Coast Guard are in Australia for our Women in Maritime Security course, together with other impressive leaders from Southeast Asia. This is another way that we’re putting our 🇦🇺🇵🇭 Strategic Partnership into action.

Excited to welcome the Governor of South Australia to the Philippines! The visit explored opportunities to deepen trade and investment ties — particularly in the education, energy and agrifood sectors — and to strengthen arts and culture linkages between our countries.

🇦🇺 is deepening its economic partnership with the Philippines. I hosted a roundtable with our Business Champion and 🇵🇭 officials to boost trade & investment. We're making strong gains in agrifood, education and the green economy—and we’re ready to go bigger in tech and defence.

Australia continues to boost cyber support to the 🇵🇭 under the Southeast Asia and Pacific Cyber Program.   This week, Department of ICT PH and DOE Philippines are tackling simulated threats to 🇵🇭 national grid — enhancing joint resilience to cyber incidents targeting critical infrastructure.
