00:00China's harassment of the Shoul Squad and other incidents in the West Philippine Sea
00:05that happened in the ASEAN Summit in the Lao People's Democratic Republic or Lao PDR.
00:10It was covered by President Marcos while a high-ranking official of China was in the same office.
00:16From the Lao PDR in Silay, Ivan Mairina.
00:20Ivan?
00:22Pia, in front of a high-ranking official of China, President Marcos, and his leaders in ASEAN
00:31conducted illegal and aggressive actions against China
00:34while calling for the creation of a Code of Conduct to maintain peace in the South China Sea.
00:45In front of Chinese Premier Li Chang, who was appointed by China in the ASEAN Summit in the Lao PDR,
00:50President Marcos tied the incidents of China's aggressive moves against the Philippines to his hat.
00:59Among them, the blocking, bombing of the water cannon,
01:03laser firing, and deliberate bombing of China's Shoul Squad ships
01:07and even the hijacking of BIFAR ships and airplanes.
01:11The President said that the Philippines continues to experience harassment and intimidation from China.
01:16This shows China's continued neglect of international law.
01:20It is saddening that the overall situation in the South China Sea remains tense and does not change.
01:26That's why all parties need to be open to seriously address the unresolved issues and reduce tensions.
01:33That's why negotiations for the ASEAN-China Code of Conduct need to be easier.
01:38In 1992, the creation of a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea began, but until now, it is still being discussed.
01:45But even if there are solid elements of agreement, such as what will be the code of conduct,
01:49and if it will be legally binding, it does not change.
01:52The simple meaning of self-restraint or self-restraint is not to agree.
01:58China's importance in the ASEAN economy is not insignificant.
02:02China's largest trading partner in the ASEAN is worth a total of 500 billion dollars annually.
02:08It is also the third largest producer of foreign direct investments.
02:12Through the President, economic cooperation should not be separated from political security.
02:18In addition, NHK, a Japan-based media outlet,
02:22called on the President in a retreat yesterday by fellow ASEAN leaders
02:25not to be swayed by China's illegal and dangerous actions in the South China Sea.
02:31The President also said that these actions should be avoided
02:34because ASEAN is far from being able to face countries against its members
02:38and the silence in the middle of these countries is a sign of his weakness in ASEAN.
02:43NHK's response is based on their copy of the President's speech.
02:47He did not express his disapproval because usually,
02:50leaders' retreats are not expected to be avoided.
02:53We tried to ask the President about this.
02:56It is improper for me to disclose anything that was mentioned in the pub game closed session.
03:08Meanwhile, Pia, in an interview, the Foreign Ministry of China said
03:12that the situation in the South China Sea is generally stable
03:16and that they remain committed to fixing their so-called maritime differences
03:21through dialogue and consultation.
03:23China will continue to urge ASEAN countries
03:26to implement the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea
03:30and to enforce the Code of Conduct.
03:33Meanwhile, among the activities of the President today
03:37is the bilateral meeting of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
03:42One of the most anticipated events tomorrow, the last day of the ASEAN Summit,
03:46is the ASEAN-US Summit.
03:48Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken also arrived.
03:53And live from Lao People's Democratic Republic,
03:56for GMA Integrated News,
03:58I am Ivan Meirina, your Saksi.
