ASEAN-US Maritime Exercise (AUMX)
It is the first ASEAN-US Maritime Exercise (AUMX) between the regional bloc and Washington.
- The drills come at a time of stepped-up U.S. engagement in the region and tensions between Beijing and Southeast Asian nations over the South China Sea, parts of which are claimed by Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines.
- Co-led by the U.S. and Royal Thai navies, the exercises will stretch into “international waters in Southeast Asia, including the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea”.
- AUMX builds greater maritime security on the strength of ASEAN.
