West Philippine Sea forum scheduled | The Manila Bulletin Newspaper Online: "The Carlos P. Romulo Foundation for Peace and Development (CPR), in collaboration with the Institute of South East Asian Studies, Singapore (ISEAS) will host a "by invitation only" forum on West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) on October 17 in Manila.
At least 23 notable former officials and authorities from the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) member-countries, China, Australia, India, Canada, the United States, and Europe are expected to attend.
In a statement, CPR Foundation chair Roberto R. Romulo noted that tensions between claimants to the potentially oil-rich waters and land features of the South China Sea, where also a quarter of the world's shipping passes, has risen to potentially dangerous levels with incidents involving China, the Philippines and Vietnam in recent months.
“All claimants agree that the disputes should be resolved through peaceful means, including dialogue, although progress has been slow,” said Romulo."
