The Philippines and the United States seek to further coordinate diplomatic efforts in building an international coalition that supports the international law-based maritime order as both sides share the same view on China’s “expansive maritime claims” in the South China Sea.
This is among the key points in the agenda of the two nations’ ninth bilateral strategic dialogue held on Nov. 15 to 16. Both countries committed to further deepen and expand their relationship through sustained engagement in all fields to address current geopolitical tensions, exacerbated by the prevailing pandemic, and contribute to regional and global peace and stability.
It was stressed during the dialogue that China’s “harassment of Philippine fisheries and offshore energy development within those areas is unlawful, as are any unilateral PRC actions to exploit those resources.”
