US President Joe Mr Biden made"ironclad" defence pledges to Japan and the Philippines as he hosted his counterparts amid growing tensions with Beijing, whose actions the three leaders described as"dangerous and aggressive."
An increasingly assertive China claims almost the entirety of the South China Sea, brushing aside competing claims from several southeast Asian nations including the Philippines. Mr Marcos, seen as closer to the US than his more China-leaning predecessor Rodrigo Duterte, said they shared an"unwavering commitment to the rules-based international order."
The statement said the three nations would conduct joint naval training and exercises along with partners such as Australia. Mr Kishida gave a joint address to Congress in which he urged Americans to overcome"self-doubt" about their role as a global power. Beijing foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said Washington and Tokyo had"attacked China on Taiwan and maritime issues, grossly interfered in China's internal affairs, and seriously violated the basic norms governing international relations."
