    China, ASEAN reaffirm commitment to advance comprehensive strategic partnership

    The ASEAN parties thanked China for supporting ASEAN centrality and community building. They appreciated China for taking the lead in expressing willingness to sign the Protocol to the Treaty on the Southeast Asia Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone.

    In addition, they looked forward to seeing the ASEAN-China comprehensive strategic partnership advance to a new level and make new achievements.

    The meeting adopted a joint statement on the 20th anniversary of China’s accession to the TAC and a guideline document for expediting the conclusion of the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea.

    I wonder if any North Atlantic commentators even knows anything about ASEAN centrality, ZOPFAN, or tanah air diplomacy that guides Nusantara sea policies.
