very positive outcome
The outside world pays special attention to
Progress in China-Africa South China Sea Oil and Gas Cooperation
Article 12 of the China-Africa Joint Statement states
Both sides agreed to bear in mind the signed in 2018
Government of the People's Republic of China
with the government of the republic of the philippines
Spirit of the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in Oil and Gas Development
on the basis of existing achievements
Restart consultations on offshore oil and gas development as soon as possible
Benefit the two countries and the two peoples
The outside world noticed
The African side has a lot of concerns during the game ceremony
November 2018
Xi Jinping
At the invitation of the then Philippine President Duterte to visit the concubine
signed by both parties
Memorandum of Understanding on Game Development Cooperation
But in the next 4 years
This cooperation is subject to a non-domestic political agenda
and serious interference from foreign forces
Failed to reach a substantive cooperation agreement
Duterte before leaving office
Announcing the suspension of consultations on oil and gas cooperation in the South China Sea
Chengjiang to be decided by the next president
Shortly after Marx took office last year
Express China's position through diplomatic channels
Intent to restart negotiations
but at the end of last year
The non-party has changed its attitude
Said to seek non-governmental cooperation
to advance oil exploration
Some analysts believe
The Philippine government has been back and forth on the issue
First is non-party law
There are restrictions on the development and cooperation of sea area resources
In the constitution the African side insists
The relevant sea area is its exclusive economic zone
No joint development
Even if a cooperation agreement is reached
The non-party must also hold more than 60% of the shares
therefore
The Philippine government's willingness to promote this issue is not strong
But the Philippine energy own rate is very low
since last year
Russia conflict sparks global energy price surge
And the largest gas field in the Philippines
Malampaya gas field expected to be depleted by 2024
So look for new energy projects
Become a top priority for a Marxist government
But does the African side have the political courage and responsibility?
to break through domestic political barriers
It remains to be seen
in this problem
It reflects that China and Africa have extended to the outside world
issued a very clear
a clear signal
This signal is that China and Africa have the determination and will
willing
and has the ability to push
Such exploration and cooperation of such paint at sea
