ASEAN and China have reaffirmed their commitment to the Declaration of Conduct (DOC) of Parties’ full implementation in the West Philippine Sea/South China Sea (WPS/SCS). This developed amid reports of suspected reclamation acts in Sabina Shoal—an uninhabited feature in the Philippines’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
Representatives of Southeast Asian member-states and China during the 43rd meeting of the Asean-China Joint Working Group on the implementation of the Declaration of Conduct of Parties in the West Philippine Sea/South China Sea.
Diplomats from Southeast Asian member-states and China met from May 13 to 15 in Thailand for the 43rd meeting of the Asean-China Joint Working Group on the implementation of the DOC of Parties in the contested waters. It will then submit these for the consideration of the Asean-China Senior Officials’ Meeting on DOC, or SOM-DOC.
China, which claims Sabina Shoal as part of its territory, earlier denied it is building an artificial island on the feature.
