PH foreign secretary: Geopolitical environment ‘more challenging, complex, interconnected’

At the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Retreat, chair Philippine Foreign Secretary Maria Theresa Lazaro says "tensions at sea, protracted internal conflicts, and unresolved border and humanitarian concerns” alongside “unilateral actions that carry across regional implications, continue to affect regional stability and erode multilateral institutions and the rules-based international order” mean it’s more important for ASEAN member state to uphold the “time-honored principles of restraint, dialogue, and adherence to international law in seeking to preserve peace and stability to our peoples.” The January 29 meeting among foreign ministers is the first major ASEAN event in the Philippines’ chairmanship of the bloc. On January 28, Lazaro led an informal meeting to talk about the situation in junta-ruled Myanmar.
