Southeast Asian defense ministers have agreed to a set of guidelines to manage unexpected aerial encounters between their military aircraft, and a deal to exchange information on terrorism and extremism.
The leaders of the ten-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations ASEAN grouping, signed the joint declaration following a meeting in Singapore.
A code to manage unexpected encounters at sea already exists and was adopted last year by ASEAN countries alongside Australia, China, India, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Russian Federation, and the United States.
