LEADERS at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summits last week made no progress on a proposed code of conduct in the South China Sea, Philippine President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. said at the weekend.

“Nothing new actually has happened in terms of the code of conduct,” he told a news briefing after attending the summits in Cambodia, based on a transcript sent by the presidential palace. “We all just restated over and over again.”

In his remarks at the related East Asia Summit in Phnom Penh on Nov. 13, Mr. Marcos said there’s a need to maintain peace in the South China Sea. “It shall be an example of how states manage their differences — through reason and through right,” Mr. Marcos told delegates on Friday. “I, therefore, welcome the progress on textual negotiations on the code of conduct this past year and hopefully an approved code of conduct in the very near future.”

The government of the late President Benigno S.C. Aquino III started the lawsuit at the Hague in January 2013.“Everybody, including the Chinese, says we follow UNCLOS and international law,” he told reporters. “At least, that position of ASEAN is clear.” “Some countries say just remove Myanmar from ASEAN or just don’t invite them at all,” he said at the same media briefing. “Others say we need to talk to the people, including those at the bottom. That’s our stand. I said we should talk to all of them.”
