Maritime security, economic cooperation and rising tensions in the South China Sea became the main topics.
The participants of the meeting noted the importance of joint efforts to support a free and open Indo-Pacific region. Particular attention was paid to the situation in regional waters, where China continues to implement its claims that contradict international law.
The negotiations took place on the eve of the change of the US administration. The leaders confirmed their intention to deepen cooperation in the context of the worsening situation in the South China Sea, through which key trade routes pass.
