President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has urged all involved parties to abide by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to ensure that the South China Sea does not become a “nexus for armed conflict.” | DYGalvezINQ
In his intervention, Marcos said the Philippines is committed to the implementation of the Declaration of the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea and the early conclusion of an effective and substantive Code of Conduct.
Marcos said the rules-based regional architecture should be underpinned by the Centrality of Asean towards inclusive engagement in the Indo-Pacific, as exemplified in the Asean Outlook on the Indo-Pacific, which highlighted the four priority areas of cooperation of the Asean Outlook that will serve as guideposts.
“Despite the continued incidents of Filipino vessels in our waters and attempts to deny and obstruct our ability to exercise our sovereign rights in our Exclusive Economic Zone, the Philippines will remain firm in upholding and protecting our entitlements under Unclos,” the President said.
