Marcos urges Asean to 'oppose dangerous use of militia vessels' in South China Sea

PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Thursday urged the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) to 'oppose the dangerous use of coast guard and maritime militia vessels in the South China Sea' which could 'increase tensions in the region, misunderstandings, and miscalculations' in the disputed waterway.

Marcos made the call during the 18th East Asia Summit, a related meeting of the 43rd Asean Summit in Jakarta, Indonesia.
