The Philippine Army hosted the meeting.

Like the Philippines, Malaysia has claims in the South China Sea, which Beijing claims almost entirely as its own.

At the working group meeting, the two parties evaluated activities for this year and discussed proposals for 2025, Dema-ala said, without giving details.
Army Commanding General Lt. Gen.
Roy Galido said that through MALPHI AWG, the Philippine Army voiced its "desire to enhance and complement each others' military capabilities in the spirit of friendship and unwavering commitment to promote regional peace and stability within the ASEAN member states." Meanwhile, the Multilateral Maritime Cooperative Activity (MMCA) of the navies of Australia, Canada, the Philippines and the US in the West Philippine Sea entered its second and final day yesterday, with participants engaging in boat transfers, anti-submarine warfare and passing exercises.
