Australian Ambassador HK Yu | NewsWatch Interviews

As the Philippines marks the 8th anniversary of Arbitral Award, NewsWatch Plus Senior Correspondent Tristan Nodalo spoke with Australian Ambassador to the Philippines HK Yu.
Australia is among nations affirming the arbitral victory and has expressed concerns on the rising tensions in the West Philippine Sea. What lies ahead in PH-Australia ties in the field of maritime security?

DFA should instruct the ambassadors to ask for help from their host countries to deploy their maritime assets in coordination with PCG or Navy or by putting pressure to China to acknowledge International Laws.

No Australia.. Japan will make jealous... Australia and Indonesia is the best partner

Enforcing our rights in the West Philippine Sea and Drilling the Reed Bank is not about the objection of China anymore, it is about BBM's willingness.
Indonesia drilled their oil asset near Natuna, without an arbitration award, a defense pact with the USA yet, or a Defense pact with Australia.
On the other hand, The Philippines has an arbitration award, MDT with the USA, Enhanced Defense Cooperation Program (E-DCP) with Australia. And RAA with Japan.
