The foreign ministers of the Philippines and Vietnam have met in Hanoi to discuss rising tensions in the South China Sea.
China is locked in territorial disputes with the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei and Malaysia over stretches of the resource-rich region.
The Philippines and Vietnam have called for the resolution of territorial disputes through peaceful means and according to international law.
Philippine Foreign Minister Albert del Rosario and his Vietnamese counterpart, Pham Binh Minh, say the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea - a binding code among claimants - should be concluded soon.
They have also called for the 2002 Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the region to be implemented in its entirety.
Both Manila and Hanoi have complained against China's aggressive stance in the South China Sea.
