KUALA LUMPUR — China and Malaysia will hold their first-ever joint military exercises next year, the
Southeast Asian nation’s defense minister said Wednesday, despite their rival claims to the tense
South China Sea.

The announcement by Hishammuddin Hussein, who is in Beijing to meet Chinese military leaders, follows
a visit to Kuala Lumpur earlier this month by China’s President Xi Jinping, in which the two countries pledged closer ties.

“Malaysia and China are expected to launch our first joint exercise in 2014 after the Memorandum of
Understanding on Defence Cooperation was signed in 2005,” Hishammuddin said in a statement sent to AFP.

The statement gave no details on the planned drills such as their location, scale, or which military branches would be involved.

A Malaysian defense ministry official confirmed they would be the first-ever drills between the two countries’ armed forces.

Hishammuddin, who met his counterpart Gen. Chang Wanquan in China, also said he invited Chang to visit the
Malaysian naval base of Mawilla 2 in the South China Sea on the island of Borneo.

The visit would be aimed at launching a “direct-contact” relationship with China’s fleet in the South China Sea.

The resource-rich waterway has become a potential military flashpoint in recent years as Beijing has pressed its claim to nearly all of it.

Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan also have various claims — some overlapping — to the sea,
a vital thoroughfare for world trade and shipping traffic.

The 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), of which Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines and Vietnam
are members, has sought to present a united front against China.

It was not immediately clear how Malaysia’s warming defense ties with China would be received in other ASEAN capitals.

While the Philippines and Vietnam have been involved in tense confrontations with China over the issue, Malaysia has sought
to keep a lower profile in the dispute.

In recent years, China has become Malaysia’s top export market and a vital trade buffer against the world economic volatility,
and their commerce and overall relationship has strengthened.

Xi’s visits to Indonesia and Malaysia and his attendance at a regional summit in Bali took on added significance after President
Barack Obama canceled his own plans to visit due to the recent US government shutdown.

The episode symbolically highlighted the two giants’ rivalry for influence in the Asia-Pacific and raised questions over Washington’s
promise to refocus its attention on the region.

China agreed this year to discuss with ASEAN an eventual binding set of rules to prevent accidental conflict at sea, but analysts say
Beijing will never give up its territorial claims and they predict maritime tensions will continue to simmer.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Navy on Thursday canceled a notice about a possible
order of up to 36 more Boeing Co F/A-18 fighter jets or EA-18G electronic warfare planes
after the posting on a federal procurement website sparked confusion this week.

The pre-solicitation notice, which first became public this week, had triggered renewed questions about the Navy’s
commitment to the 392 billion radar-evading F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program by Lockheed Martin Corp.  

Boeing has sought for years to sell the Navy more of its F/A-18E/F Super Hornets for use on aircraft carriers, as a
hedge in case the more capable carrier variant of the F-35 fighter jet runs into further delays or technical challenges.   

Navy officials this week said they had no plans to buy more Super Hornets or EA-18G Growlers in fiscal 2015 despite
the notice on a federal procurement website. They said the notice was meant to ensure the “proper acquisition process”
was in place if more U.S. or foreign orders materialized. 

But the posting caught Pentagon officials by surprise, since the current Navy budget calls for F/A-18 funding to end in
fiscal 2014, with production of the planes to end in 2016.  

It was not immediately clear why Naval Air Systems Command, or Navair, decided to cancel the notice, which was
first posted Oct. 17. The procurement website was updated on Thursday to say the notice had been canceled,
but no explanation was provided.  

Officials with Navair, which oversees aviation programs such as the F/A-18, could not be reached for comment. - Reuters
