Скачать или смотреть Germany Offered Air Defense System to the Philippines.

Germany is stepping up its defense diplomacy — signing deals, deploying warships and joining regional forums.

Germany and Philippines this month agreed to enhance defense ties and boost joint activities, including rearmament, as several Southeast Asian states increasingly look to Europe to diversify their security arrangements.

The new deal will expand cooperation to include cybersecurity, armaments, logistics and peacekeeping duties.

The "arrangement concerning defense cooperation" was signed in Berlin by Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro and German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.
