Beijing and Manila reached a provisional arrangement on the humanitarian resupply of living necessities to an illegally grounded Philippine vessel, as the two sides had a series of consultation on managing the situation at Ren'ai Reef, the Foreign Ministry said on early Monday.

The two sides agreed to jointly manage differences on maritime issues and work for de-escalation in the South China Sea, the ministry said in an online statement.

If the Philippines were to send large amounts of construction materials to the warship and attempt to build fixed facilities or permanent outpost, China will absolutely not accept and will resolutely stop it, the spokesperson said.
