Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr reaffirmed the nation’s commitment to engaging in dialogue with China to de-escalate tensions in the South China Sea.
Amidst ongoing territorial disputes, the president emphasised the importance of diplomatic efforts in ensuring regional stability.
The South China Sea has been a focal point of tensions due to competing territorial claims by multiple nations, including China, the Philippines, Vietnam, and others.
The Philippines, despite asserting its sovereignty over certain areas, opts for peaceful resolutions through dialogue rather than escalating conflicts.
