The 13th ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting-Plus closed in Cebu on 29 October after adopting a Joint Statement on Youth, Peace and Security, handing the 2027 chair to Singapore. Defence Minister Koizumi explained Japan's revision of its three security documents this year and the goal of 'a capability to block an invasion of Japan', and agreed with Australian Defence Minister Marles to continue consultations toward a Self-Defense Forces missile firing at an Australian test range. At the 28 October meeting of the Australian, Japanese, Philippine and US ministers, closer defence-policy coordination was confirmed, and the US and the Philippines announced an 'Alliance Command and Control Modernization Sprint' and an increase, of undisclosed size, in security-cooperation funds.
