President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. insisted. at the 18th ASEAN-East Asia Summit President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Thursday urged members
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Thursday urged members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to rally against the “dangerous use” of coast guard and militia vessels in the South China Sea.
The President has been pushing the ASEAN community for a peaceful and responsible way of dealing with disputes in the Indo-Pacific region. A week before the ASEAN Summit, China drew international ire for using a 10-dash line map that marks nearly the entire South China Sea—including areas within the exclusive economic zones of other countries like the Philippines—as Chinese territory.
ASEAN on Wednesday raised concerns over “serious incidents’ in the South China Sea that have “put the safety of all persons at risk” and caused damage to the maritime environment. These incidents have “increased tensions and may undermine peace, security, and stability in the region,” the regional bloc said in its Chairman’s Statement—without specifically naming China.
There is a need to “enhance mutual trust and confidence” and to “exercise self-restraint in the conduct of activities that would complicate or escalate disputes and affect peace and stability, andavoid actions that may further complicate the situation,” the regional bloc said. “We emphasized the need to maintain and promote an environment conducive to the COC negotiations, and thus welcomed practical measures that could reduce tensions and the risk of accidents, misunderstandings, and miscalculation,” it said.
Also on Thursday, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro Jr. told legislators that China’s issuance of a map detailing its new 10-dash line claim late last month proves its “expansionist agenda.”
