it comes at the time of rising tensions as badging of a china, as claim to most of the south china sea. china is 9 dash line claim, and the saw china sea health costs $10.00, stand off with countries like vietnam, leisure for night, and the philippines. largest allowed on any little button there that a very some one to go to us. that'd be me. and that is the global spotlight is on the south china sea due to its abundant natural resources. silas dudley's, many nations to a 3rd territorial claims in the area by alan visa, one glen rely with id, like in us, a lot of the, the indian easiest prime age active in its dealings with these nations as to maintain a neutral stance that i gave them a sync up and about. but while the exercises are entirely focused on non combat activities, the drill is also being read by many as a cautious signal to china. this are tennessee is only 30 miles away and is one of the most disputed to your political hop squads of the 21st century. the 1000 members are all well aware of this and are being very careful not to prevent china too much. but this 1st exercise,

south china seats. while these meetings take place, just a few days after china released a new standards, not lane claim to most of the south china sea, and that is certainly caused some agitation here in southeast asia. we do expect that the philippines in particular, will push for us the latest to discuss this issue. but what we are likely to see is some progress on economic agreements on trade agreements. and we understand that indonesia will also push for deeper discussion on the issue of human trafficking, as it has been an increase in cases in recent years. jessica washington, which is 0 to kasha. now until the kurdish region of northern iraq. we're pensions and not being paid with government stuff and missing the salaries and prizes and the shops have increased. well, that follows the stoppage of oil exports to neighboring to kia as my mood of the heat reports from the pensioners. and it'd be trying to find relief from the burdens of life in this popular cafe. but they can only decline any rocks assuming between them is good. this region is taking a told it is recently lost approximately $5000000000.00 due

china. is it clear? so yeah, the main problem here is a mess that has trying to, has put out basically claiming all of the south china sea and particularly of this number of the philippines. but also malaysia are absolutely not happy with that map and have rejected it. it, when you talk about china and obviously on, there's always the issue off of economic investment from china, which is absolutely crucial, for instance, for countries like you have now. on the one hand, on the other hand, all members know that only together they are strong. and so there is a community termination to a show china that there are some limits when it comes to territorial disputes like this one. so a draft communicate talks about lands, reclamation, activities, and serious incidents that leaders are concerned about. the last year the us present, joe biden attended b as in summit, he's skipping this one is that assigned georg? that sounds important. so this waning i'd say there's 2 ways to look at this. on the one hand, of course you can say, you know, i was a bit of a talking shop because of this love, you know, you're not limited.

off the coast of indonesia near the not to now islands, and the need to move them from a part of the south china sea, where there are overlapping territorial claims. china says it has sovereignty rights to most of the area, but the waters border many odds in countries, and they can test beijing's claims. this is where of the nation. so joining forces for the 1st ever block exclusive naval exercise, it comes at the time of rising tensions as badging of a china, as claim to most of the south china sea in china is 9 dash line claim. and the saw china is the house cost $10.00 standoff with countries like that non malaysia per night, and the philippines, launching us loud on any. and what about on there that a very some want to go to that is the global spotlight is on the search china. see, do, do it's a bundle of natural resources, silas dudley's, how many nations to a so territorial claims in the area by alan visa, one glen rely, would i be looking us a lot of the, the indian easiest prime of huge active in its dealings with these nations is to maintain a neutral stance, i give them a sync up and a

these have seen renewed focus of the southeast asian countries as well as china, seeking to conclude a code of conduct in the south china sea. however, i'm not that's optimistic about reaching a code, just kind of meaningful code of conduct at least any time soon. these negotiations have been 2 decades in the making and to happen various obstacles to beaching, meaningful code of conduct, you know, read the rest of the code of conduct and apply. so essentially, to apply to the entice you this whole trying to see only those areas that are disputes between china and the southeast asian countries. um, what sort of activities should the code of conduct to prohibit should it prohibits organ such as activities such as the building of fortresses on various land features and this all trying to see or should we take china as well and believes that we should just to be trust china when it says that these are for peaceful purposes. there also obstacles such as you know, whether or not these should be, if there is a dispute in this, i'll try to see whether these should be subject to the dispute resolution mechanisms that the u

of difficulty. and vines, with vast, is also china's influence in north korea. north korea is a big factor and why at the 3 of these are amazing. it will be because a south korea will be hoping that china can use its influence there and, and japan would also be hoping that china can do something about that. and the crazy thing in all of this is that each of these countries, including the united states, their biggest trading partner, is china. so you have this economic angle, um, how do you square that round hole with the a political interest that each country has? what a lot of the debate recently has been about economic coercion about china using economic coercion to exert political pressure on, on the neighboring countries. i'm on the other major regional players, including japan and south korea in 2017, when the us installed a missile system there didn't jump at china, responded with, with uh, economic coercion. on several occasions. over the years, it's done the same thing to japan and really major pon realize just how dependent it's become on the economy. so i think this is a very important, a very important aspect to these now. um, thank you so muc
