President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to fly to Indonesia today for the 43rd ASEAN Summit where he is expected to make a strong push for a statement on recent Chinese incursions in the West Philippine Sea, the Department of Foreign Affairs said.
The Philippines was the third nation to assail Beijing’s attempt to assert sovereignty over disputed maritime territories in the South China Sea, after India and Malaysia. “We have stayed true to rules-based international law especially the UNCLOS and that I think puts us on solid ground in terms of our claims for territorial sovereignty, for maritime territory,” Mr. Marcos said.
During the 42nd ASEAN Summit in May, Mr. Marcos called on the bloc to hasten the completion of the legally binding pact with China.
