ASEAN and China Agree on Single Negotiating Text for South China Sea Code of Conduct
The ASEAN and China have agreed on a working text for the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, taking a significant step towards bridging differences among the parties. Analysts said that Singapore has carried out the coordinatorship role well. “I believe Singapore will hand over the Asean-China account in running order to the next coordinator,” said Mr Ong Keng Yong, a former Asean secretary-general who is now Executive Deputy Chairman of RSIS.
