China and India have vowed to come up with a solution for issues concerning the western section of the China-India border based on a previously agreed consensus, officials from both countries said at the 26th meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on Border Affairs held in Beijing on Wednesday.
The country “will not lose an inch of territory,” President Marcos insisted yesterday, as Beijing continued to defend its latest act of intimidation in the West Philippine Sea directed at a Philippine Coast Guard vessel on a mission to help resupply a remote military outpost on Ayungin Shoal.
China should stop its “damaging and dangerous” actions in the West Philippine Sea that are “destabilizing” peace and stability in the entire region, the Department of Foreign Affairs said yesterday.
Chinese experts warned of US interference in issues related to the South China Sea as part of the country s attempts to raise its influence in the region, as Indonesia said it plans to hold new rounds of negotiations over a code of conduct (COC) for disputed waters in the South China Sea.
