KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 (Reuters) - The Chinese government's
top diplomat, State Councillor Wang Yi, said on Tuesday that
Beijing and members of the Association of South East Asian
Nations (ASEAN) should work together to remove "external
disruption" in the South China Sea.
Wang, who is on a visit to Malaysia as part of a short
Southeast Asian tour, did not elaborate.
During a joint a news conference, Malaysia's Foreign
Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said disputes over the South China
Sea should be resolved peacefully through regional dialogue.
China, which has for years been locked in maritime disputes
with other coastal states in the South China Sea, has in recent
months held military exercises in disputed parts of the
strategic waterway, while Washington has accused China of
attempting to build a "maritime empire" in the area.
