On 12 July 2026, ten years after the 2016 arbitral ruling on the South China Sea, 14 nations reaffirmed the ruling in a joint statement saying China's maritime claims have no basis. China rejected the ruling and the statement, and its foreign ministry urged the countries involved to stop stirring up trouble. China also protested remarks by Japan's foreign minister on the ruling.

ASEAN's Secretary-General said he was optimistic about concluding a South China Sea code of conduct. Separately, a special envoy said Myanmar told ASEAN that detained Aung San Suu Kyi will be looked after.
