:
China said on Thursday that it always strictly follows the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC).
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei made the comment in response to a question at a news briefing.
China attaches great importance to the DOC's role in maintaining regional stability and promoting mutual trust between China and member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), said Hong.
Since the signing of the DOC in 2002, China has actively pushed forward the implementation of the follow-up actions of the DOC, he said.
In the past nine years, China and ASEAN countries have hosted two senior officials' meetings and established a joint working group on the implementation of the DOC, he said.
He said marine scientific research, marine environment protection and navigation safety have been selected as priorities of cooperation by the joint working group.
The joint working group also reached consensus on six cooperative projects, including disaster prevention and mitigation in the South China Sea and coordination on marine search and rescue missions.
The joint working group has held six meetings on a rotational basis between China and ASEAN nations since it was initiated in Manila in 2005.

I'm just an ordinary vietnamese who loves my country just like you guys love your country, but when the love of my country is violated or my country is invaded by some nuckle heads, myself, and milions of my fellow people will hold our hands together and fight to our last of breath.
If you look at the south china sea map drawn by you guys, can you see the un-reasonable reason there? South china sea is not your sea. This is the 21st century my friend. You claim it because of the history, you people have lived there for years and controlled it for years, why don’t you go to US or European countries and said they are your land?
In addition to, the East Sea of Vietnam likes our flesh and blood, an inseparable part, our ancestors have lived and protected every inch of land This is like your house has a courtyard, and neighbors is going to say that it belong to him because his father had been there to drink tea , and then he speak out aggression with you, What will you do?
Although Vietnam is still poor but we are not weak, we will fight to the last breath and our children, too. Because fighting for a country is our glorious mission. And fight just because some greedy leaders is something stupid.
Hope international friends support for Vietnam and the Philippines, thank you very much
