Indonesia Slams Asean Failure to Reach Resolution on South China Sea Dispute
Phnom Penh. Indonesia has slammed the inability of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to agree to a common position over the South China Sea as "utterly irresponsible."
The 10-member bloc remained unable to agree on Thursday on the wording over recent actions by China in its ongoing disputes with Asean member states in contested maritime areas.
The issue has dominated this week's meetings in the Cambodian capital. Beijing claims most of the South China Sea, which holds key shipping lanes and is believed to be rich in oil and gas reserves. Asean members Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam and the Philippines also have claims.
The Philippines wanted Asean's statement to reference China's recent "aggressive" actions near the Scarborough Shoal. However Asean works on consensus, and at least one nation — believed to be 2012 chair Cambodia — blocked that.
"Whenever there are incidents, that's actually the moment that we should reinforce our efforts, not be grinding to a halt," said Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa, who declined to comment on whether he believed Cambodia was doing China's bidding.
"This is a time when Asean should be seen to be acting as one," he said. "I find it perplexing, and to be candid and honest, really, really disappointing."
However, Asean Secretary-General Surin Pitsuwan downplayed the failure as "a hiccup."
"We thought we could get one united position on everything. That's the expectation, that's the hope," he said, adding that efforts to reach a deal would continue.
Philippine Foreign Minister Albert del Rosario told the Asean Regional Forum that the international community should be worried about China's behavior, which he said amounted to "gross violations" of international conventions and was "part and parcel of [China's] creeping imposition of its claim over the entire South China Sea."

China is funding to Cambodian to do it, now US Secretary Clinton was asked about the debt $400 million in debt accrued by the US-backed military government of Lon Nol. He took power in a 1970 after coup.
