: Any issues concerning the South China Sea should be continuously addressed through ASEAN, said Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
“The presence of any foreign vessel in South China Sea should not be regarded as an intrusion as the waters are a free passage. But if we perceive any form of intrusion, we will issue a protest note regarding the presence of the vessel to the respective countries, including China,” he told reporters after a working visit to Korea Aerospace Industries here today.
This has led to several incidents of confrontation between Chinese and Filipina coast guards, further escalating tensions in the disputed waters, with the latest incident reported on August 31.
