Japan at Australia, suportado ang ‘Pinas sa WPS


ni Ronalyn Seminiano Reonico | May 21, 2021



Napagkasunduan ng Japan at Pilipinas ang pagkakaisa sa pagpapanatili ng kapayapaan sa Asia-Pacific region at nagpahayag naman ang Australia ng suporta sa pagkapanalo ng bansa sa 2016 arbitral ruling sa West Philippine Sea (WPS).


Pahayag ng Japanese Embassy, “(Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga) expressed his opposition to the continued and strengthened unilateral attempts to change the status quo in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.


“(Suga) shared grave concerns about recent developments in China, including the Coast Guard Law.”


Pahayag naman ni Australian Ambassador Steven Robinson, “We are strong supporters of the arbitral award. And of course, we hold with the Philippines’ position as outlined at the UN.”


Ayon din kay Robinson, dapat sundin ng China ang United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea kung saan maaaring dumaan sa South China Sea ang mga barko ng iba’t ibang bansa para sa kalakalan.


Aniya ay 65% ng international trade ng Australia ang dumadaan sa South China Sea.


Saad pa ni Robinson, “Australia has taken a very long-standing principled position about the South China Sea. It’s really important to us that there will be unimpeded trade and freedom of navigation… There have been rules and norms and laws that have been put in place after many years subscribed to by basically all countries in the world that support a rules-based approach to the law of the sea… governing how we all use those critical waterways, not just in the South China Sea but all international waterways.”
