Marcos: PHL, China should not only talk about sea disputes - BusinessWorld Online

“China and the Philippines should not just talk about the West Philippine Sea,” he said referring to parts of the South China Sea that are legally claimed by the Philippines.

The new Philippine leader, meanwhile, called on the country’s Southeast Asian neighbors and members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation “to be active” in “trying to find ways to improve relationships.”Mr. Yi was set to visit Manila on Tuesday for an official meeting with the Philippine’s foreign affairs chief.

The invitation came from Mr. Manalo, the department said. Mr. Yi was the first foreign diplomat to be received by the DFA head since he assumed his new post on Friday. Maritime tension between the Philippines and China has risen in recent years as Beijing has ramped up construction activities in areas claimed by Manila.

The South China Sea, a key global shipping route, is subject to overlapping territorial claims involving China, Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam. Each year, trillions of dollars of trade flow through the sea, which is also rich in fish and gas.
