MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines and France are looking into the possibility of holding joint patrols in their exclusive economic zones to develop interoperability.

 

Rear Admiral Jean-Mathieu Rey, joint commander of the French Armed Forces in the Asia-Pacific (ALPACI), discussed this possibility with his Filipino counterparts during his two-day working visit in Manila on March 7 and 8, the French Embassy said in a statement.

 

"We are under the same threat of natural disasters in our overseas territories. The second domain is the protection of our exclusive economic zone. We share the same necessity to protect our resources in our EEZs against threats such as illegal fishing," Rey said.
