Amidst South China Sea tensions and the Russia-Ukraine war, Germany is bolstering defense ties with the Philippines. At a forum by Stratbase and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, German Ambassador Andreas Pfaffernoschke stressed credible deterrence as vital for Indo-Pacific security. Having ratified a Defense Cooperation Agreement in 2025, Germany now seeks a Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) and defense exports to help modernize the Philippine military into a multi-domain force.
