BANGKOK (Bernama): Malaysia has urged Asean member countries to come together in drafting a Code of Conduct (COC) so that the South China Sea dispute can be resolved amicably, says Foreign Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah  (pic).

He said Malaysia’s stand on the dispute is that it should not be discussed separately among member countries that had made overlapping claims to the area.
