They are scheduled to meet with Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo and Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro Jr. for the convening of the 2nd Philippines-Japan Foreign and Defense Ministerial Meeting . Senior Japanese lawmaker Onodera Itsunori was quoted as saying that they are looking to make significant progress and ratify the RAA during next month’s meeting.
“These discussions will encompass a detailed exchange of views on broader regional and international matters, aiming to strengthen cooperation and mutual understanding between the two nations,” it said. The Japanese lawmakers said such abusive actions, particularly the June 17 incident on the latest RORE mission to Ayungin Shoal, are condemnable acts of piracy.
He said the two officials discussed key bilateral, regional and global issues, including areas of cooperation and difference. According to Cagayan de Oro City Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, IPAC had recently issued a statement assailing China’s continuing “aggression and provocation” in the disputed waters. “On the contrary, in 2016, when asked about the matter, the Arbitral Tribunal established by the United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea – to which both the Philippines and China are a party – ruled that the Shoal was in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines,” it added
