Possible talking points between the two leaders have not been released, but Marcos said Wednesday that he hopes to discuss issues hounding the West Philippine Sea with Xi.

Marcos is currently in Cambodia for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit, where the West Philippine Sea issue is among the topics that would be talked about. Marcos also mentioned during the 25th Asean-China summit earlier that the finalization of a code of conduct in the West Philippine Sea would be key to how different states manage differences.

“It shall be an example of how states manage their differences: through reason and through right. I, therefore, welcome the progress on textual negotiations on the COC this past year and hopefully an approved code of conduct in the very near future,” Marcos had said during the summit.
