MANILA, Oct 10 (Reuters) - The foreign ministers of
Philippines and China reaffirmed their countries' strong
relations on Saturday, Manila's foreign ministry said, amid
bilateral tensions over the South China Sea.
China, which has for years been locked in maritime disputes
with other coastal states in the South China Sea, has in recent
months held exercises in disputed parts of the strategic
waterway, at a time when other claimants are battling
coronavirus outbreaks.
"Both sides reaffirmed the continuing vitality of relations
despite the constraints imposed by COVID-19," the Philippines'
foreign ministry said in a statement following talks in Yunnan
between Teodoro Locsin and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.
Locsin and Wang engaged in a "candid and in-depth exchange
on regional security concerns", the ministry said. The statement
did not mention any discussion about the South China Sea,
believed to be rich in energy reserves and marine resources.
The ministers "pledged to forge ahead with sustained policy
dialogues, as well as economic and infrastructure cooperation
projects," it said.
