MANILA (Reuter): Vietnamese Defense Minister Doan Khue arrived in Manila yesterday for a five-day visit expected to focus on the disputed Spratlys islands.

Vietnam and the Philippines are among six nations that have staked a claim to all or part of the potentially rich string of Spratly islands and reefs in the South China Sea.

The others are China, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei.

Khue is due to meet Philippine Defense Secretary Renato De Villa today.
