MANILA - A senior diplomat from the Philippines has told China that it must not resort to “coercion and intimidation” in addressing their maritime dispute in the South China Sea.
The BCM, which was established in 2017, provides for the Philippines and China to directly manage and address with one another issues on the South China Sea.In her opening statement on Friday, Ms Lazaro recalled that Chinese President Xi Jinping and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr agreed to find a peaceful resolution to the maritime dispute during the latter’s state visit to Beijing in January.
China has been increasing its activities in the South China Sea as Mr Marcos Jr explores deeper security cooperation with its military allies - the United States, Japan and Australia - to counter Beijing’s growing influence in the Indo-Pacific. Mr Sun did not directly address these specific instances in his speech but insisted that China and the Philippines have “generally managed and effectively dealt” with their differences in the maritime dispute through “friendly dialogue and consultations”.
