On Tuesday, Vietnam and the Philippines reached an agreement to enhance collaboration between their coastguards, aiming to prevent potential incidents in the South China Sea.
This announcement was made during a state visit to Hanoi by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Both nations in Southeast Asia have conflicting territorial claims in certain areas of the South China Sea, a vital passage for approximately $3 trillion in annual ship-borne trade, with China asserting nearly complete ownership of the region.
Tensions are rising in the South China Sea as China threatens Vietnam over its rapid island-building operations. Hanoi has expanded over 280 hectares across 10 features, adding new docks and a 3,000-meter airstrip on Barque Canada Reef. China views these moves as a direct challenge to its dominance, especially with U.S. backing and the USS Carl Vinsonâs return to the region. Analysts warn Vietnamâs projects could rival Beijingâs military stronghold, intensifying fears of a possible clash between China and Vietnam, with Washington closely aligned with Hanoi.

he U.S. has deployed Dark Eagle hypersonic missiles and Typhoon systems in Germany, sparking WW3 fears across Europe. Capable of striking targets over 3,000 km away, these weapons are aimed at deterring Russia amid rising NATO tensions. In response, Russia revoked its missile moratorium and threatened NATO allies with the deadly Oreshnik missile. With deployments planned in Asia too, including Australia and the Philippines, the U.S. missile strategy is reshaping global military balance. Putin warns of escalation, as both sides gear up for potential confrontation in Europe and beyond.

In a bold diplomatic and military move, India hosted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with full state honoursâwhile simultaneously dispatching warships for joint patrols in the South China Sea. INS Delhi, INS Shakti and INS Kiltan sailed alongside Philippine vessels inside Manilaâs exclusive economic zone, triggering a subtle yet unmistakable warning to China. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs reaffirmed support for freedom of navigation, calling the waters part of the âglobal commons.â
The joint drill coincided with Marcosâ five-day India visit, where the two nations signed a landmark Strategic Partnership agreement to boost defence, maritime cooperation, disaster relief and cyber security. While India didnât name China, Beijingâs rebuke of âthird-party interferenceâ left little ambiguity. The coordinated political hospitality and military manoeuvres signal Indiaâs rising Indo-Pacific assertiveness and a strategic alignment with one of Chinaâs fiercest regional rivalsâfirmly placing New Delhi in the emerging anti-China security web across the Indo-Pacific.

Indiaâs Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has finally addressed the rising buzz around Donald Trumpâs proposed tariffs on Indian exports. During a high-level media briefing that followed Prime Minister Modiâs meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the MEA clarified that no direct discussion took place on Trumpâs recent tariff threats. Instead, the focus was on strengthening India-Philippines trade ties, expanding product diversity, and cooperation in space technology. India showcased its cost-effective space capabilities, with both countries expressing interest in launching and developing satellites together.
The Philippines also supported Indiaâs call to expedite the ITAGA trade review. While the Trump tariffs remain unaddressed formally, India is clearly moving to diversify partnerships and preempt economic turbulence. The strategic dialogue underlined Indiaâs growing regional influence, especially in light of evolving Indo-Pacific geopolitics and rising trade protectionism from Washington.

China has issued a stark warning after the Philippines and India completed their first-ever joint naval patrol in the disputed South China Sea, reporting âshadowingâ vessels and prompting Beijingâs PLA Southern Theatre Command to declare its forces on high alert. The maritime cooperative activityâas three Indian warships operated alongside Philippine frigates near Scarborough Shoalâcoincided with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.âs state visit to New Delhi, signaling a deeper strategic bond between the two democracies.
China condemned the move, accusing Manila of ârallying external powersâ and asserting that such so-called joint patrols undermine regional peace. Analysts warn India's involvement could reshape the Quadâs maritime posture and provoke tougher Chinese responses. Beijing insists disputes must be settled directly and vows to safeguard its territorial sovereignty. As $3 trillion in trade flows through these waters annually, this flashpoint could mark a significant shift in Indo-Pacific security dynamics.

Trump stated, âBy the time I got off, I think they want to settle now.â He said using trade to stop wars is an honor, suggesting that economic leverage can be a powerful diplomatic tool when applied decisively.

Clashes between Thailand and Cambodia have entered their fourth day, despite U.S. President Trumpâs warnings to halt the conflict. Over 30 people, including civilians, have been killed as fighting intensifies, with reports of Thailand using cluster bombs. Cambodia plans to drag Thailand to the UN over war crimes allegations.

During a visit to Scotland, Donald Trump revealed he had spoken with the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia, urging an immediate ceasefire amid rising border tensions.

Fierce clashes erupted again between Thailand and Cambodia near the disputed Ta Kwai temple, marking the deadliest border conflict in over a decade. At least 33 people have died, including civilians, just hours after Thailand claimed a ceasefire had been âagreed in principle.â Trump, attempting to play peacemaker, said on Truth Social he spoke with Cambodian PM Hun Manet and planned to call Thailandâs acting leader.
However, violence surged againâcasting doubt on his claims. Mass evacuations have followed: over 131,000 displaced in Thailand and 37,600 in Cambodia. The UN has expressed deep concern and offered to mediate. The roots of the clash lie in decades-old disputes over temple territories. Reports suggest both sides may have used banned cluster munitions. The crisis has drawn global attention and sparked fears of full-scale war in Southeast Asia.
