DFA chief: China to honor provisional deal in Ayungin
Philippine Foreign Secretary Enrique Manalo and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi affirmed that a recently agreed arrangement for resupply missions in Ayungin Shoal will be honored.
The two top diplomats met on the sidelines of a ministerial meeting in Laos, where they discussed the provisional arrangement and its implications on territorial claims.
Manalo stated that the Philippines would honor the agreement in a clear and sincere effort to defuse tensions and prevent incidents from escalating.
