President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. thanks Canada for its continued support for a rules-based order in the South China Sea during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in Vancouver. In their joint remarks, Marcos highlights Canada’s recognition of the 2016 Arbitral Tribunal Award as final and legally binding and says the Philippines marks the 10th anniversary of the award. Marcos also points to Canada’s consistent position on upholding international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The two leaders jointly express appreciation for Canada’s stance that supports the application of international legal principles in maritime disputes. The meeting takes place alongside broader efforts to deepen bilateral engagement, though both reports focus on the South China Sea and the anniversary of the arbitral decision as key points in Marcos’s message to Canada. The statements are framed as reaffirmations of each country’s approach to international law and dispute resolution in the region.
