AMBASSADOR Rosario Manalo, the lead diplomat who helped frame the charter of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) in 2007, has urged the government to agree on bilateral negotiations with China, not in addressing the territorial issue but in “sharing the fruits of the sea” in line with the Declaration of Conduct (DOC) signed by the Asean and China.
