'Asean most important mover' in sea dispute'

THE Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) remains the "most important mover" in resolving regional conflicts, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said on Thursday, as tensions in the South China Sea rise again.

Marcos underscored the importance of Asean in resolving regional concerns, such as the South China Sea issue and the civil unrest in Myanmar, during the presentation of credentials of Brunei's Ambassador Megawati Dato Paduka Haji Manan in Malacañang.
