Philippine and Chinese officials have discussed a recent laser-pointing incident on a newly-established communication line.
                
On Monday, the Philippine Coast Guard said that a Chinese government ship had directed a military-grade laser at its patrol ship near a shoal of the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea on February 6. It said that the incident took place within the Philippines&#039; exclusive economic zone.
                
The Chinese side denied the allegation.
                
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. summoned the Chinese ambassador to express his serious concern over the incident.
                
The Philippines&#039; Department of Foreign Affairs held a news conference on Thursday after the department&#039;s officials and their Chinese counterparts discussed the issue using the new communication line for the first time.
                
During the talks, the Chinese officials said that it was not a laser used by the military, but one to be used to measure distances.  The Philippine officials said that China&#039;s action put the Filipino vessel and its crew in danger.
                
A spokesperson of the Philippine foreign affairs department quoted the Philippine officials as saying that they have no reason to doubt the account made by the country&#039;s coast guard regarding the incident.
                
The spokesperson added that the officials expressed the country&#039;s disappointment over the incident and called on China to refrain from committing such actions in the future.
                
In January, the leaders of the two countries agreed to establish a new communication channel to discuss the issue of the South China Sea, over which both countries claim sovereignty.
