Asean vows to conclude pact with China on disputed territory


MANILA/JAKARTA, Feb 6 (AP): South-East Asian foreign ministers vowed to finalize negotiations with China over a proposed pact aimed at preventing conflicts in the disputed South China Sea in their annual retreat on Saturday in Indonesia’s capital.

In the final session of their two-day meeting, the ministers from the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Aseans) also agreed to unite in their approach to implement a five-step agreement made in 2021 between Asean leaders and Myanmar’s military leader, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, that seeks to end that country’s worsening crisis.
