DEPARTMENT of National Defense Officer-in-Charge Carlito G. Galvez Jr. has pushed for a dialogue and adherence to the rule of law in order to ensure peace and stability in Southeast Asia and in the whole Indo-Pacific region.
The SLD, dubbed as “Asia’s premier defense summit,” is an annual gathering of defense ministers, senior military officials, diplomats, security experts and practitioners where the region’s pressing security issues are discussed and debated. In his statement, Galvez underscored rule of law, dialogue and multilaterism as key points in upholding peace and stability in the region amid increasing strains on the security environment.
The defense chief called on all parties who subscribe to the rule of law to express support for the 2016 South China Sea Arbitration Award and what it stands for as it is ultimately this support that will preserve the global order at sea and uphold the universally recognized principles of international law.
