US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today issued a warning over tensions in the South China Sea while welcoming progress in Korean talks, as she addressed an Asian security forum.
"The United States is concerned that recent incidents in the South China Sea threaten the peace and stability on which the remarkable progress of the Asia Pacific region has been built," Clinton told a security forum in Indonesia.
"These incidents endanger the safety of life at sea, escalate tensions, undermine freedom of navigation, and pose risks to lawful unimpeded commerce and economic development."
Tensions have flared in recent months over rival territorial claims in the potentially resource-rich waterway by China and other countries in the region.
In prepared remarks to foreign ministers at the ASEAN Regional Forum, Clinton also said the United States was "encouraged" by rare and unexpected meetings between senior officials from North and South Korea this week in Bali.
