US Vice-President Kamala Harris has reaffirmed Washington's "unwavering commitment" to protect the Philippines in the event of an armed attack in the disputed South China Sea, during a three-day visit aimed at mending ties with one of its oldest allies in Southeast Asia.
In a meeting with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr on Monday, Ms Harris described the relationship between their two countries as a "long and enduring one" and promised that the United States would stand with Manila "in defence of international rules and norms as it relates to the South China Sea".
"An armed attack on the Philippines' armed forces, public vessels or aircraft in the South China Sea would invoke the US' mutual defence commitments - and that is an unwavering commitment that we have in the Philippines," said Ms Harris, who arrived on Sunday after the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Bangkok.
