The Turnbull government isn't planning on getting involved in a potential confrontation between the United States and Chinese navies in the South China Sea.

Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop and Defence Minister Marise Payne held "in-depth talks" with US Secretary of State John Kerry and US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter in Boston on Tuesday about maintaining peace and stability in the oceans around China.

They pledged enhanced naval co-operation with the United States - but this does not include the Royal Australian Navy joining any US-led patrols to confront China over disputed islands in the sea zone.
