4月22日上午，2024年度的菲律宾与美国“肩并肩”联合军演在马尼拉启动。
The military said the exercise, which will last until May 10, will involve more than 16,700 troops, including 11,000 from the United States and 5,000 from the Philippines. In addition, about 150 Australian military personnel and about 100 French naval personnel, as well as other Philippine government agencies, will also participate in the exercise.
菲律宾军方称，此次军演将持续到5月10日，参演士兵超过16700名，其中包括11000名美军和5000名菲律宾士兵。此外，约150名澳大利亚军事人员和约100名法国海军人员，以及菲律宾其他政府机构人员也将参与演习。
Ana Malinbog-Uyi, deputy director of the Asian Century Institute of Strategic Studies in the Philippines, said that the Philippines is seen as a proxy for the United States to promote strategic interests in the Asia-Pacific region, and the "shoulder-to-shoulder" military exercise will not help regional peace, but only increase tensions and create instability. The Philippine government should abandon its militarized and belligerent tactics and return to the track of diplomatic negotiations.
菲律宾“亚洲世纪”战略研究所副所长安娜·马林博格-乌伊说，菲律宾被视为美国在亚太地区推动战略利益的代理人，“肩并肩”军演无助于地区和平，只会加剧紧张局势，制造不稳定因素。菲律宾政府应摒弃军事化的好战策略，重新回到外交谈判的轨道上来。
"Shoulder to shoulder" is a regular annual joint military exercise between the Philippines and the United States. The Philippines and the United States signed the Visiting Forces Agreement in 1998. The agreement specifies the conditions, scope of activities and available facilities for US servicemen, military-related personnel and military equipment to enter the Philippines, including arrangements for the two sides to hold military exercises.
