The announcement by the Duterte administration last month that it will terminate<\/a> the 1998 Philippines-US Visiting Forces Agreement will likely also raise questions about the future of the Australia-Philippines political and security relationship.

Australia and the Philippines finalised<\/a> their Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) in July 2012 \u2013 after five years of deliberation by the Philippine senate. The SOFA provides a legal and operational framework for Australia-Philippines defence cooperation, and it builds on earlier joint defence commitments, including the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperative Defence Activities (1995) and to Combat International Terrorism (2003). These initiatives reflect a convergence of strategic interests and are consistent with the historic security cooperation between the two countries during the Cold War and in the post 9\/11 period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
