Regarding the East Sea issue, the two countries emphasized the need to resolve maritime disputes through peaceful means in accordance with international law, including the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC) toward finalizing a Code of Conduct in the East Sea (COC)./.
