Brown Jr. , chair of the joint U.S. military chiefs, arrived in the Philippines on Tuesday and is set to visit one of the nine designated facilities for American rotational forces under the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement .
In a statement, Brown reasserted the United States' commitment to international law, saying that in the Philippines, the U.S. has a "longstanding, shared interest in regional stability." The agreement was forged as China continued to encroach on waters in within Philippines’ exclusive economic zone, blocking coast guard resupply missions and harassing Filipino fishermen.After his visit to the Philippines, Brown is scheduled to meet key officials in the Indo-Pacific this week to strengthen U.S. investments in regional partnerships.
