Credit Flickr/Stratman²Southeast Asian broadcasters were quick to trumpet the first-ever Association of Southeast Asian Nations ASEAN military exercise to be held in the South China Sea later this year. According to Indonesia’s military chief, Adm. Yudo Margono, the drills will not include combat training but were aimed at “ASEAN centrality.”It’s quite the big deal, and with Indonesia as this year’s chair of ASEAN, the announcement was quickly seen as a rare show of unity on the southern edge of the South China Sea, where Beijing has staked another claim in international waters.“In the near future, we will hold joint military drills in the North Natuna Sea, to be called the ASEAN Solidity Exercise ENatuna or Asec01N,” Margono told the state-run Antara news agency, after the ASEAN Chief of Defense Forces Meeting in went on to say the exercise had been agreed to by 11 military chiefs of ASEAN – including Timor-Leste – and scheduled for September this North Natuna Sea was also a choice area of operations. About a decade ago Indonesian generals were deeply upset when their Chinese counterparts confirmed Beijing’s “nine-dash line” claim did, in fact, travel south of Natuna island and deep inside Indonesia’s sovereign years later Jakarta renamed that southern edge of the South China Sea, encompassing the islands, as the North Natuna Sea. In Hanoi, the South China Sea is known as the East Sea and in Manila, the Philippines’ portion of the waterway was also renamed the West Philippine Sea.“ASEAN centrality” has emerged as the latest buzzword among the 10 nation-bloc with strategic partners in the West increasingly fed-up with widening divisions between mainland and maritime Southeast Asia over issues ranging from Myanmar to Ukraine and Chinese Beijing, such talk is an anathema. In Bali, Hanoi, and Manila were critical of Chinese maritime, naval or otherwise, deployments into the long-disputed waters, through which $ trillion of ship-borne trade travels each year. Such talk also underpinned “ASEAN centrality.”But not so fast, Phnom Penh appeared to say, as the military drills continued to make dispatch from the Cambodian government’s mouthpiece Fresh News seemed to quite publicly contradict Margono, saying the joint statement issued after the meet “does not indicate ASEAN joint military drills in the South China Sea.”It said the commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces had outlined “the idea for joint military drills” and had sought the advice of “nine ASEAN military chiefs.” However, there was “no response,” it said Indonesia had again asked for the opinion of the commander-in-chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces RCAF and in this regard it said “we will assign a working group to study the joint military drills.”“After the study is done, the Commander-in-Chief of the RCAF will request a decision from the Ministry of National Defense of Cambodia,” it on the differing statements would obviously be appreciated but clearly, Cambodia has distanced itself from any ASEAN military drill in the South China Sea and yet again Phnom Penh risks being accused of siding with China against the broader interests of the has been riding high since serving as last year’s chair of ASEAN and the successful staging of the Southeast Asian Games last spot on the ASEAN totem pole has also been elevated by Myanmar’s descent into civil war, an economic collapse in Laos, and the pending admittance of impoverished its economy is struggling and remains fundamentally tied to Chinese investors who vacated this country as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold and have not crackdown on political opposition ahead of next month’s elections and Chinese upgrades of the Ream Naval Base on its southern coast – viewed by Washington as China’s second foreign naval base after Djibouti – have further alienated Phnom Penh from Western short, Cambodia’s influence is wanting and, on appearances, challenged. November 24, 2020 148pm Athletes and officials from the Philippines march during the opening ceremony of the SEA Games Southeast Asian Games at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan province, north of Manila on November 30, / Ted Aljibe MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines may end up as a replacement host of the Southeast Asian Games should a designated country back out. Philippine Olympic Committee president Abraham Tolentino on Tuesday said he had offered the SEAG Federation the country’s willingness to assume the hosting if in case one of the host nations decide to withdraw. “I was first to offer if one would back out. I want to put it on record when we meet again to show I was serious with that,” said Tolentino during the Philippine Sportswriters Association forum online. The Tagaytay Congressman and PhilCycling chief said there is a chance Brunei or Laos would call hosting off when they take their hosting turns in 2027 and 2029, respectively. Or it could be in 2031 as Indonesia may give up the hosting of the SEAG after it showed its intent on bidding for the Olympic hosting in 2032. “They said it will be a pleasure for them if we take the hosting because they’re really serious in bidding for the Olympics,” said Tolentino. The next SEAG is set next year in Hanoi, Vietnam, Cambodia in 2023 and Thailand in 2025. The Philippines reclaimed the overall title after it hosted the SEAG in December last year with a historic medal haul of 149 gold, 117 silver and 121 bronzes. And it may not be a bad idea to host it again if it wants to repeat as overall champions.
