Abe pledges $8.7B in investments, speedboats to Philippines
By Teresa Cerojano (Associated Press)  Updated January 12, 2017 - 8:37pm
MANILA, Philippines — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday pledged $8.7 billion worth of business
opportunities and private investments along with speedboats and other counterterrorism equipment to the Philippines,
whose president has boosted ties with China.
 
Following talks with President Rodrigo Duterte in Manila, Abe welcomed the Philippine leader's efforts to improve Manila's
ties with Beijing "in light of the arbitral award," refcerring to the Philippines' victory in an arbitration ruling declaring China's
claims to the South China Sea invalid.
 
China has refused to recognize the July 12 arbitration decision and has warned the United States and other countries not
involved in the territorial row not to meddle in the disputes, which Beijing wants to be settled through one-on-one
negotiations with other rival claimant countries like the Philippines.
 
Abe, however, said "the issue of the South China Sea is linked directly to regional peace and stability and is a concern to
the entire international community."
 
His two-day visit to Manila aims to further solidify relations with the Philippines at a time when Duterte is cozying up to
China and Russia while taking a hostile stance toward Tokyo's main ally, the United States. Japan is among the top
trading partners of the Philippines and one of its largest aid providers.
