“The two sides discussed the current situation of the South China Sea and exchanged views on maritime issues of mutual concern.

Both sides agreed that Beijing and Manila should follow the spirit of consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries and properly manage maritime through dialogue and negotiation,” the report read.

“Both sides also agreed to protect peace and stability of the South China Sea, and keep pushing forward pragmatic maritime cooperation in various fields, so as to create a good atmosphere for the healthy and stable development of bilateral relationship,” it added.

Echoing Cayetano’s claim that the Philippine government has submitted diplomatic protests in private, Malacañang said that the government “will resort to all diplomatic initiatives when warranted but without fanfare.”
