KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 12 (Bernama): Asean intends to remain the master of its own destiny in ensuring that the South China Sea is a sea of peace, stability and trade, Malaysian Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said at the 27th Asean Regional Forum on Saturday.
Speaking via a video conference from Putrajaya, he underscored the importance that the sea should never become an arena for contention where Asean Member States are caught in a conflict that they are not party to.
