THE Philippines sought patrol ships and communications equipment from Japan to better secure its territory in meetings yesterday of their top diplomats who expressed alarm over their countries' territorial conflicts with China.
Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said Japan will consider giving 10 patrol vessels and a communications system to Manila's coast guard. He said he and Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida expressed "mutual concern" over the disputes and "aggressive" steps by China to assert its claims.
A request for "multi-role response vessels" and a communications system needs to be endorsed by Japan's Foreign Ministry before approval by the Japanese government.
