China has always remained open to discussions on the Code of Conduct (COC) in the South China Sea, the minister said, adding China and ASEAN members have long shared the view of eventually concluding the COC on the basis of consensus reached by all parties, which has been included in the DOC.
The consensus reached by China and Indonesia this time is that all parties shall, through working together, expanding common ground and removing disturbances, discuss and steadily promote the COC procedure in the process of implementing effectively the DOC in an all-round way, Wang said.
He went on that China is willing to continue to hold high- profile meetings on the implementation of the DOC, and agrees to discuss on promoting the COC procedure under the framework of the joint working group on DOC implementation.
