PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – Across the different meetings of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ 40th and 41st summits, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. made several interventions that touched on different issues – from the conflict in Myanmar to regional action on climate change.
“ASEAN’s response to this is the forward-looking ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific, with its essential element of ASEAN Centrality in the implementation of ASEAN-led mechanisms, projects, and initiatives for our community-building efforts,” he added. He added: “While the Philippines adheres to the ASEAN principles of non-interference and consensus, the protracted suffering of the people in Myanmar, in part due to the lack of progress in the implementation of the Five-Point Consensus, also challenges the ASEAN-honored principles of democracy and the respect for and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms enshrined in the ASEAN Charter.
Marcos told his ASEAN counterparts that climate change is among the top agendas of his administration. “The measures we seek to undertake hopefully will enable us to become smarter, more responsible, more sustainable in all that we do,” he said.Speaking at the 41st Summit Retreat as well, Marcos urged North Korea to comply with the United Nations Security Council’s resolutions.
The ASEAN and China signed 20 years ago the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, a non-binding agreement that states that ASEAN members and China agree to craft a binding Code of Conduct over the sea. Four ASEAN members, including the Philippines, have territorial disputes with China in the South China Sea.
