The one-and-half day closed-door dialogue focused on the status quo of maritime affairs in the Asia Pacific, UNCLOS and recent developments in maritime law, and China-U.S. cooperation on military maritime security. The purpose of the dialogue was to provide an institutionalized platform that could facilitate better communication between the two countries on maritime issues in the Asia Pacific.
