THE Philippines has rejected the 2023 version of China's map which features a new 10-dash line that defines China's boundaries in the South China Sea.
The map, issued by China's Ministry of Natural Resources on August 28, has also been opposed by India and Malaysia because it claims parts of their territories.The map, published by Beijing's state-owned newspaper, Global Times, covers a large part of the South China Sea, including the Philippines' exclusive economic zone in the West Philippine Sea.It also showed Taiwan as well as India's northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin region as part of China's domain.
The DFA official said that Marcos and Korea's Yoon are expected to discuss new areas of cooperation.'At the same time, we'll also be thanking Korea for its support for the Philippines in terms of the assistance that they gave during Typhoon 'Egay,' around $300,000,' Espiritu said.'Also, they intend to donate, under the Asean Plus 3 Rice Reserve Arrangement, a total of 750 metric tons of rice to the Philippines, 400 of which are already in the pipeline,' he said.
