00:00It's almost several years that this discussion is going on, and I think there is already a sense
00:08among ASEAN and China that a code of conduct will be concluded.
00:20However, we're just finishing, there's supposed to be a meeting in China,
00:26and I think we'll just be postponed, but that will be the last of that under the chairship of Malaysia.
00:33Again, this issue was discussed during our first, during our retreat, one of the subjects of discussion,
00:39during our retreat in January with the other foreign ministers.
00:44Confidence, if you're asking about confidence, but I go back to the position taken,
00:51or the decision taken by the foreign ministers in 2023 that they already mandated that this code of conduct
01:00should be finished within three years, and we have, of course, technically until July 2026,
01:08but it is indeed our intention.
01:11And I think it is also the aspiration of all of ASEAN, and even China, to finish and to come up with a code of conduct.
01:20Okay, first of all, a special envoy of Myanmar, to Myanmar, by the Philippines, and of course representing ASEAN.
01:31The objective right now is to build on what has been done with the previous chairs, particularly Malaysia.
01:40Malaysia had about 170 engagements, and we are of the view that we cannot do everything that was done by Malaysia,
01:49or even the past chairs, starting from that.
01:52So it is the view, it is our view, it is the Philippine position, that we will just be working on what has been established.
02:00And to continue, it's really the issue of continuity, so that what they have done before is something that we can just continue to do.
02:10Now, you mentioned the words to go there, to go there. We are still trying to discuss, we are still discussing these things.
02:21In fact, it will be first discussed during the retreat, that will be in January, of the foreign ministers.
02:27The strategy is still being developed, as I was just designated by the President.
02:36And your other question was...
02:40Someone, there will be no discussion before the election.
02:43Because before, the post-aparticle before.
02:45There will be some, I cannot be very sure, because you see that the chairship of Malaysia ends until December 31st.
02:53So there will be, there's some worthy group meetings going on, and there will be discussions.
02:58There are two elements basically, is one, what would be the situation, and what is the, will ASEAN sit, observer, missions to the election, for coming elections in December.
03:11This is still being discussed.
03:13There are also elements of, there are also questions on, should ASEAN have a longer term special envoy?
03:23Perhaps all this will be discussed, particularly the possibility of getting a, a longer term special envoy during the chairship of the Philippines.
03:32What is the, that is, whether or not people will come to England who will be Tuesdays in December 31st.
03:33So, I will certainly be here, but there's no, there are some, there are some of the things that we will look into.
03:37That is, I will be going to travel to Paris right now.
03:38I have to have to be one of those, one of the issues that I have to be смысled in the city.
03:40Let's talk about the situation for a while.
03:43And there are some of the issues that I have to have to focus on.
03:45This is a part of the life of Japan, which is a part of the community of pepperoni.
03:46There are some of the movement that I have to be discussed.
03:48There are some of the things that say, because a lot of the�就ans in a new room,
03:50There are some of the meetings that I have to be discussed, and a lot of the seat ofHila, and the relationship,
