In an exclusive interview with Firstpost Managing Editor Palki Sharma, President Marcos Jr. talked about the joint naval drills between India and China in the disputed South China Sea, claimed almost entirely by Beijing. Asked if he would like to see New Delhi as a regular maritime presence in the region, like the US and China, Marcos Jr. said, "They (the drills) show how strongly we intend to defend our position. And it shows that how closely we are working to be able to defend peace and stability (in the region).
