This most-welcome 'non-political' agreement, albeit by naval military officers, hopes to reduce chances of military confrontation in the Asia Pacific region.
However, being non-binding and with no direct enforcement power against pro-war leaders, their respective national political leaders could still initiate armed conflicts from the many territorial disputes in the region.
This lack of enforcement constitutes the main weakness of all previous war prevention attempts.
And, not surprisingly, intervention by politicians caused cancellation of the proposed peaceful naval ships parade.
Historical and current evidence confirm that politicians and their influences ALWAYS hamper all and any attempts at war prevention. Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Old Yugoslavia's disintegration, Israel/Hezbollah/Palestine, ...
All political influences ought therefore to be eliminated from any meaningful war prevention effort - if the world would ever derive permanent war prevention.
And, this can now be very easily achieved by instituting a brand new independent body (with no political attachments) for resolving all pro-war political disputes. This one simple move would spontaneously prevent all war because no one would then be opportune to initiate one from such political crises as Ukraine or Syria.
Moreover, nowadays, with widespread digital technologies usage, appropriate initial members for the proposed new body can be easily assembled from the far-flung populations of the globe; and their resolutions readily ENFORCED without need for regular armed forces.
(Details in the book titled: 'Unchecked, They'll Kill Us All: All Wars Can Be Prevented!'
Furthermore, please note that the United Nations since 1945 has consistently failed in its main objective of global war prevention. It cannot, only because of its intrinsic political attachments.)
