Philippines Defence Secretary Gilberto Teodoro did not hold back when he was interrupted by the delivery of a handwritten note at the Seoul Defence Dialogue. The contents of the letter seemed to refer to Beijing's stance on the South China Sea and its rejection of an international court ruling that favoured the Philippines. Teodoro criticised China's lack of basic decency for the interruption and their disregard for international law. When questioned about the incident, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson said she was unaware of the incident and called on the Philippines to "stop grandstanding and stirring up trouble".
