00:00 Some ASEAN members support the Philippines' position in the West Philippine Sea
00:04 and President Bombon Marcos' call to expedite the issuance of an effective code of conduct in the South China Sea.
00:11 And live from Jakarta, Indonesia, we have first news with Ivan Maynina.
00:16 Ivan, what can you say about the legally binding code of conduct in the ASEAN Summit?
00:26 Maris, regarding the legally binding code of conduct, it seems we are still far from that.
00:32 But in the Chairman's statement issued last night,
00:35 the ASEAN member states support the Philippines' position in many aspects
00:40 in the West Philippine Sea or South China Sea.
00:44 This is followed by the declaration of leadership in the actions that are aggressive,
00:50 in the reclamations and also in the marine environment in the region.
00:56 The call was supported here to avoid all actions that could pose a threat to tensions in the West Philippine Sea
01:02 and also to a peaceful resolution in the Segalote.
01:05 The call was also supported to expedite the issuance of an effective code of conduct in the South China Sea.
01:11 But in the statement of Chinese Premier Li Qiang at the ASEAN-China Summit,
01:16 China Maris said that they are following the law.
01:21 We seek common ground while setting aside differences,
01:25 properly handle disagreements through dialogue and consultation.
01:29 [Sounds of waves]
01:33 This statement is followed by harassment, water bombings, dangerous manoeuvres in the sea
01:39 and China's issuance of a map of the 10-dash line that connects almost the entire South China Sea.
01:45 This is considered as unspoken and China is doing in the region.
01:50 So the President is adamant in front of the ASEAN leaders.
01:55 We cannot emphasize enough that actions not words should be the ultimate measure
02:01 of our commitment to securing peace and stability in the South China Sea.
02:06 Anything else simply does not suffice.
02:10 In the midst of the support of their countries,
02:17 including South Korea, Japan, the US and Canada,
02:20 as well as the ASEAN member states in the calls of the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea,
02:24 China's insistence is not to side with them.
02:27 To keep differences under control,
02:32 what is essential now is to oppose peaking sides,
02:37 oppose bloc confrontation and oppose a new Cold War,
02:43 and to ensure that disagreements and disputes among countries are properly handled.
02:52 Meanwhile, on the third and last day of the summit,
02:55 the ASEAN and Australia Summit and ASEAN-UN were scheduled.
02:59 The President will also speak today at the bilateral one-on-one meeting
03:02 between the Cambodian Prime Minister Hon Manet and South Korean President Yun Suk-yol.
03:07 The President spoke first on the sideline yesterday with US Vice President Kamala Harris,
03:12 but did not detail in detail their conversation.
03:15 In the statement issued by the White House,
03:17 as the two leaders discussed maritime security in the South China Sea
03:21 and the strengthening of bilateral maritime cooperation between the Philippines and the US
03:26 with their allies.
03:29 Meanwhile, Maris,
03:31 President Bongbong Marcos is expected to return to the Philippines before midnight later.
03:36 And that's the latest from Jakarta, Indonesia.
03:39 Back to you.
03:40 Thank you very much.
03:41 Take care, John, Evan, Myrena.
