2016年CRI Various countries voice support to China on S. China Sea issue（在线收听）

Cambodian Prince Norodom Ranariddh, president of the royalist Funcinpec Party, says the party fully backs China for rejecting the arbitration from an international tribunal over the South China Sea disputes.

"We don't support the Philippines who unilaterally initiated the arbitration; we support the Chinese government position."

Dogu Perincek, Chairman of Turkey's Patriotic Party, says China has no obligation to obey the decision of the international tribunal.

"The Hague tribunal has no right of jurisdiction in the South China Sea issue. It is not right that the Philippines initiated the South Sea issue by single side. It probably wants other international sides to involve in the issue."

Avvas Zaki, a central committee member of Fatah, formally known as the Palestinian National Liberation Movement, expressed his support for China's stance on the South China Sea issue.

"The international arbitration will not be able to resolve the South China Sea issue, because the Philippine has been pushing hard for the compulsory arbitration, in an attempt to deny China's sovereignty in the South China Sea. This is unacceptable to Fatah. "

Other countries have also announced they supported China on the South China Sea issue.

Angola's government announced it supported peacefully dealing with issue through negotiations.

Liberia's government said it respected the Chinese government's position on how to deal with the dispute.

Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea Peter O'Neill said his country respects China's position on the South China Sea issue and supports consultations between the parties directly concerned.
