中菲已就解决南海有关争议达成共识 | China and the Philippines Have Reached Consensus on Settling Their Relevant Disputes in the South China Sea |
20世纪80年代以来,中国就通过谈判管控和解决中菲南海有关争议提出一系列主张和倡议。中国在解决南海问题上的“搁置争议,共同开发”倡议,首先是对菲律宾提出的。中国就管控海上分歧与菲律宾进行多次磋商,双方就通过谈判协商解决有关争议,妥善管控有关分歧达成重要共识。 | Since the 1980s, China has put forward a series of proposals and initiatives for managing and settling through negotiation disputes with the Philippines in the South China Sea. China's initiative of "pursuing joint development while shelving disputes" regarding the South China Sea issue was first addressed to the Philippines. China has conducted consultations with the Philippines on managing maritime differences, and the two sides have reached important consensus on settling through negotiation relevant disputes in the South China Sea and properly managing relevant disputes. |
1995年8月,中菲共同发表《关于南海问题和其他领域合作的磋商联合声明》表示,“争议应由直接有关国家解决”;“双方承诺循序渐进地进行合作,最终谈判解决双方争议”。此后,中国和菲律宾通过一系列双边文件确认通过双边谈判协商解决南海问题的有关共识。 | In August 1995, China and the Philippines issued the Joint Statement between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of the Philippines concerning Consultations on the South China Sea and on Other Areas of Cooperation in which they agreed that "[d]isputes shall be settled by the countries directly concerned" and that "a gradual and progressive process of cooperation shall be adopted with a view to eventually negotiating a settlement of the bilateral disputes." Subsequently, China and the Philippines reaffirmed their consensus on settling the South China Sea issue through bilateral negotiation and consultation in a number of bilateral documents. |
2002年11月,中国同东盟10国共同签署《南海各方行为宣言》(以下简称《宣言》),各方郑重承诺:“由直接有关的主权国家通过友好磋商和谈判……以和平方式解决他们的领土和管辖权争议。” | In November 2002, China and the ten ASEAN Member States signed the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) in which the parties solemnly "undertake to resolve their territorial and jurisdictional disputes by peaceful means [...] through friendly consultations and negotiations by sovereign states directly concerned". |
