Negotiations on the Code of Conduct for the South China Sea will resume next week in Jakarta, the Department of Foreign Affairs said Saturday.
According to DFA, the meeting will take place on March 8 and 9. It will be the 38th meeting of the Joint Working Group and will be held at the ASEAN Secretariat, it added.“The meeting will continue the negotiation and deliberation on the single negotiated text of the COC,” Ma. Teresita Daza, DFA spokesperson, said, adding “the JWG will be deliberating on the same text on the general provisions.”
During the ASEAN-China Summit in Cambodia in November 2022, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. pressured claimants of the South China Sea to immediately come up with a COC two decades after the attempt to create one started.
