Spartly Presentation
Booz Allen.
We spent the whole day in Booz Allen for Spartly Presentation. After presentation from each delegation, then we had negotiations. A lot breaks as ASEAN countries wanted every agreement among the caucus decided by discussion. At the first session, Myanmar and Philippines kicked US and other observer countries; Japan and Korea to be out of the negotiation process and meetings. The meeting chaired by Leigh instead of one of us. My feeling was the chair was bias.
After all the negotiations, it’s hard to come up with any solutions over the spartly dispute. I mean only implementing action in which were very general could be agreed from the whole day sessions. No any real conclusion how to overcome the dispute over the spartly islands. But that’s it. That’s the real world. It’s about process. Moreover, ASEAN way in certain contexts exist. First, ASEAN countries do not like any hegemony or domination over them. Secondly, we need to talk and to be heard much. Thirdly, we like informal meetings as it’s the culture..
