Philippines, China to use diplomacy to address maritime issues

MANILA, Philippines – Maritime issues between the Philippines and China remain a “serious concern,” a Philippine official said on Friday, March 24, as the countries pledged to use diplomacy to resolve differences peacefully during high-level talks.

“Both our countries’ leaders agreed that maritime issues should be addressed through diplomacy and dialogue and never through coercion and intimidation,” Philippine foreign ministry undersecretary Theresa Lazaro said at the opening of bilateral talks on the South China Sea. “Maritime issues are an important part of China-Philippines relations that should not be ignored,” China’s Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong said.

Last month, Marcos granted the United States expanded access to military bases, amid China’s growing assertiveness in the South China Sea and towards self-ruled Taiwan.

Ang UTUAN at DIPLOMASYA ay MAGKA-IBA!

It is quite obvious, based on its actual actions, that aggressor china is a conpulsive liar. Pinoys must actively oppose china's bullying and expansionism.
