发帖数: 339 | 1 MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippines summoned China's ambassador in Manila on
Wednesday for talks over a disputed area in the South China Sea after two
large Chinese surveillance ships blocked a Philippine Navy vessel from
arresting Chinese fishermen in the area.
Raul Hernandez, a foreign ministry spokesman, said Manila is seeking a
diplomatic solution to end the stand-off after Foreign Affairs Secretary
Albert del Rosario called in China's ambassador Ma Keqing.
The Philippines and China are contesting sovereignty over a small group of
rock formations known as Scarborough shoal in the South China Sea, about 124
nautical miles off the main island of Luzon, near a former U.S. navy base
in Subic Bay.
