WASHINGTON — The U.S. says it will help build the Philippines’ sea
patrol
capability but will not take sides in that nation’s standoff with China
at
a disputed shoal in the South China Sea.
The top diplomats and defense officials of the treaty allies held their
first joint meeting Monday and discussed the three-week standoff at the
Scarborough Shoal.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton reaffirmed U.S. commitment to
its
mutual defense treaty with the Philippines, and to freedom of navigation
and
regional security. She reiterated support for a diplomatic resolution
to
territorial disputes.
A joint statement said they would cooperate on building the Philippines’
maritime security capabilities. The U.S. will transfer a second ship to
the
poorly equipped Philippine navy this year.
