DIPLOMATIC TALKS. Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo talks to his Singaporean counterpart, Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan at the sidelines of an ASEAN meeting in Laos. AFPThe Philippines carried out a rotation and resupply mission to troops on Ayungin Shoal Saturday without “untoward incidents,” more than a month after a violent clash with Chinese forces in the area.
Wang Yi called on the Philippines to “honor its commitments” under the deal rather than “backtracking or creating complications,” according to a readout of the meeting released by Beijing.Wang also warned the Philippines against deploying a US missile defense system. The United States and ASEAN had to work together to “address challenges,” Blinken told ministers from the 10-member bloc, including China’s “escalatory and unlawful actions taken against the Philippines in the South China Sea over the last few months.”
“I think that would be an important step forward in diffusing tensions and hopefully lead to other areas of cooperation on the South China Sea.” “The spokesperson’s statement regarding prior notification and on-site confirmation is inaccurate,” Daza added.
