KUALA LUMPUR: Asean must stand united in upholding the Code of Conduct (COC) on the South China Sea and treat the issue as a regional matter rather than addressing it bilaterally.
Malaysian Chief of Defence Force Gen Tan Sri Mohd Nizam Jaffar said that the COC was among the key issues discussed during the 22nd Asean Chiefs of Defence Forces Meeting (ACDFM) held here on Wednesday (Sept 10).
