ASEAN's First Joint Military Exercise in South China Sea Amid Tensions.

ASEAN will hold its first-ever joint military exercise in the South China Sea in September, hosted by Indonesia in the North Natuna Sea. The exercise aims to strengthen "ASEAN centrality" and will not include combat operations training. The South China Sea has been a source of tension due to competing claims by ASEAN members and China, with China asserting sovereignty over vast stretches of ocean. ASEAN has been pushing for a maritime code of conduct with China, but several of its members have had run-ins with Beijing in recent months.

China and Singapore to Hold Joint Military Exercises in Strengthened Defence Partnership

China and Singapore will hold a joint military exercise, their first combined drills since 2021, as Beijing deepens its defence and security ties with Southeast Asia, a region with strong existing U.S. alliances. The exercise comes at a time of heightened tensions in the South China Sea, an area often traversed by Western navies including U.S. vessels conducting freedom of navigation operations. China's increased military engagement in Southeast Asia is widely expected to challenge the influence that the United States has shaped with countries including Singapore and Indonesia in coming years.
