PHNOM PENH—A day after President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. pushed for the completion of the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang said his country
would work closely with nations in the region to ensure peace and stability on the basis of mutual respect for international law.
“I look forward to working with the Philippines to uphold the unity and cooperation between China and Asean,” he said. “I also look forward to working with the Philippines and other countries in Asean for peace and stability in South China Sea on the basis of mutual respect and respect for the Declaration of Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea and international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Let’s work together for successful meetings,” Li told Mr.
“I, therefore, welcome the progress on textual negotiations on the Code of Conduct this past year and hopefully an approved code of conduct in the very near future,” he said. “It was he after all who made Philippines and China family… It was something very important to us. He has been proven right because the partnership with China has been a great benefit to both our countries. So I look forward to discussing all of these when I come to visit in January,” Mr. Marcos said.
