Description:
- Notwithstanding “intense” diplomatic discussions to ease tension in the West Philippine Sea, the Philippines and China are “moving forward” when it comes to negotiations on the proposed joint oil and gas exploration. A basic memorandum of understanding (MOU) on joint exploration had been signed in Manila as part of bilateral outcomes last year when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the Philippines. However, both parties still need to turn the MOU into a more concrete agreement and framework.
