🇪🇺 Ambassador to 🇵🇭 Massimo Santoro hosted a luncheon with🇪🇺 Member State HOMs with @dndphl Sec Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro, discussing further strengthening 🇪🇺🇵🇭 cooperation on security and defence matters, a shared commitment to the RBIO, multilateralism, and regional stability.

[EUinthePhilippines🇪🇺🇵🇭 @EUinthePH]

4 years of 🇺🇦 resistance, and 4 years of Russia’s brutal, unprovoked aggression. 🇪🇺 and its Member States stand firmly with Ukraine. In 🇵🇭, EUDEL and EU Ambassadors commemorated these tragic events and reaffirmed that Russia must stop its aggression and be held accountable.

Honoured to meet Cagayan de Oro Mayor Rolando A. Uy @rolandoklarexuy with fellow 🇪🇺 Member State Ambassadors. Useful discussion on shared priorities: green economy, justice, trade, people-to-people ties. Thank you, Mayor Uy, for your hospitality and for welcoming us to CDO!

Condemning the continued dangerous Chinese maneuvers against Filipino fishermen in the West Philippine Sea. Reiterating call for peaceful settlement of disputes according to the law of the seas and #UNCLOS.

[F-M Mellbin @AmbMellbin]

Deeply concerned at the continuing Chinese assaults on Filipino crews with water cannons within the Philippine EEZ. All parties should respect UNCLOS and its 2016 tribunal award. https://t.co/EXoWFeRfxV

[F-M Mellbin @AmbMellbin]

Deeply concerned at #China’s plans to establish a so-called “National Nature Reserve” at Scarborough Reef and call on all parties to respect the 2016 #UNCLOS Tribunal’s unanimous decision that Filipino fishermen have the right to traditional fishing at #Scarborough Reef.

[EU Ambassador to the PH 🇪🇺🇵🇭 @EUAmbPH]

Deeply concerned by the incident at Scarborough Shoal on 11 August. The EU reiterates its call for a peaceful settlement of disputes, in compliance with the rules-based international order and international law, including UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral award.

[F-M Mellbin @AmbMellbin]

#ChineseCoastGuard suffered man overboard while shadowing #Philippine vessel BRP Suluan. Hope he was found. Underlines how dangerous the unsafe #Chinese passages, threatening maneuvers and near or full collisions in the #WestPhilippineSea are.

[Enrique A. Manalo 🇵🇭 @EnriqueAManalo]

Had interesting and enjoyable exchanges with multilateralist Ambassadors over lunch. Thank you, 🇸🇮 Amb @knez_s for hosting us.

[F-M Mellbin @AmbMellbin]

#China continues to put innocent civilians at sea at risk through the use of water canons and dangerous manuvers - this time against 🇵🇭 scientific vessels in the #SouthChinaSea. All nations should respect the Law of the Sea and the 2016 UNCLOS arbitrational award to Philippines.

[F-M Mellbin @AmbMellbin]

Happy and proud to have used "West Philippine Sea" since my arrival in the #Philippines. Nice to see Google recognising the 2016 UNCLOS arbitral award by adopting the name.

Dear American friends.

We agree that status quo in the Artcic is not an option.

So let’s talk about how we can fix it - together.

Great day for the Philippines. FATF may sound arcane, but the lifting is very helpful for OWS, foreigners living in 🇵🇭, the financial sector and investors.

[F-M Mellbin @AmbMellbin]

Deeply concerned that #China continues to carry out dangerous aerial maneuvers in the West Philippine Sea. These actions violate international law and put lives at risk. Call on all parties to respect freedom of the skies, #UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Award. 🇵🇭🇩🇰
