The Philippines and Japan will hold a 2+2 foreign and defence ministerial meeting in Manila on July 8 to discuss regional defence and security matters, amid increasing tensions in the South China Sea.

Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa and Defence Minister Minoru Kihara will meet their Philippine counterparts Enrique Manalo and Gilberto Teodoro Jr, Manila's Foreign Ministry said in a statement on June 28.

The meeting comes as the Philippines and Japan are negotiating a reciprocal access agreement (RAA) that would deepen defence cooperation between two key allies of the United States in Asia.
