Enrique Manalo, the Philippines’ foreign affairs secretary, stated that the area could not afford to escalate at this time, given the simmering tensions between the United States and China over Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent travel to Taiwan.

Manalo warned against escalation in a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Saturday, noting that the globe is only now beginning to recover from the impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) epidemic.

“We cannot afford any further escalation of regional tensions as we currently face numerous difficulties in reviving our economy, particularly in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. We are all aware that no one nation would be able to resolve all of these difficulties on its own, “said he.

As we map out our future, we consider the United States a crucial ally and close friend.

Washington DC is “committed to behaving properly,” according to Blinken, in order to prevent crises and conflict in the area.

The US “always stands with” its allies, he continued, citing the “serious concerns” that other nations, including the Philippines, have expressed regarding recent events in the Taiwan Strait.

“It is crucial for Taiwan, the Philippines, and many other nations to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. The Taiwan Strait has an impact on the entire region. Additionally, because the strait, like the South China Sea, is an important waterway, it has an impact on the entire world in many ways. “During a post-bilateral presser, he remarked.

The United States “does not believe that escalating that situation is in the interest of Taiwan, the region, or our own national security,” he said.

Additionally, he reaffirmed that the US would maintain open lines of communication with China in order to prevent any errors in judgment brought on by misinterpretation or misunderstandings.
