 The strategic partnership between Manila and Canberra is more important than ever, with the rule of law and regional peace under threat from China, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr told the Australian parliament.

 Marcos told a special joint sitting of the two chambers during a state visit that the Philippines would not allow a foreign power to "take even one square inch of our sovereign territory."

 It is a declaration he has often repeated since taking office in 2022 and refers to China's disputed claims to territory in the South China Sea.

 Marcos said that Australia and the Philippines need to band together against new challenges to the region's peace and stability, as they had against Japanese forces during World War II. "Not one single country can do this by itself. No single force can counter them by themselves," Marcos said.

 Australia and the Philippines for the first time conducted joint sea and air patrols in the South China Sea in November last year.

 Marcos Jr and Albanese also announced new agreements on maritime cooperation, cybersecurity and fair-trade regulation.

 菲律賓總統小馬可仕在澳洲議會演說時表示，在法治和地區和平遭中共威脅之際，菲澳兩國的戰略夥伴關係將較以往更為重要。

 他在赴澳洲進行國是訪問期間，向聯邦議會兩院議員指出：「菲律賓絕不容許任何外國勢力奪取我們的主權領土，那怕是一平方英寸土地都不讓。」

 這也是他自2022年就職以來經常重覆的聲明，針對的是中共在南海具爭議性的領土主張。

 他表示，菲澳兩國須團結一致，對抗地區和平和穩定的新挑戰，就如同在二戰期間抵抗日軍一樣。他表示：「沒有任何一個國家能以自身力量單獨抵抗此一新的挑戰。」

 菲澳兩國去年11月首次在南海進行聯合海空巡邏。

 他和澳洲總理艾班尼斯也共同宣布簽署了海上合作、網路安全和公平貿易競爭規範等3項協議。
