On Friday (2nd), a ministerial meeting was held between the European Union and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Brussels, Belgium. After the meeting, a joint statement was issued, reaffirming the strategic partnership between the two parties and their shared interests in maintaining regional peace, stability, and prosperity.
The joint statement talks about the South China Sea in five parts, reaffirming the importance of international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). It emphasizes the respect for the rule of law, sovereignty, maritime security, freedom of navigation, and peaceful resolution of disputes. This convention defines the rights of countries in the ocean, including the establishment of exclusive economic zones. In the face of China's increasingly assertive actions in the South China Sea, ASEAN countries have repeatedly referred to this convention in their appeals, but the joint statement does not explicitly mention China.
The joint statement also includes the mention of expressing support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, condemning violent acts in Myanmar's internal conflict, expressing concern about North Korea's military expansion, addressing human rights issues in Afghanistan, and seeking peaceful solutions to the problems in the Middle East.
