Relations between the two countries have been tested over the Malaysian state of Sabah and Manila’s maritime laws
Admiral Tansri Zulhelmy Bin Ithnain, chief of Malaysia’s Royal Navy, met with vice-admiral Jose Ma Ambrosio Ezpeleta, flag officer in command of the Philippine Navy, during a courtesy call in Manila on Wednesday. He also held talks with the Philippine military chief, General Romeo Brawner Jnr.
The visit “reaffirmed the strong and enduring ties” between the two countries’ naval forces, according to a Philippine Navy’s statement, which said both sides had exchanged views on joint maritime operations, regional security and naval modernisation.
