China reaffirmed its stance boycotting the proceedings of the Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration with regard to a regional dispute over South China Sea.
The Chinese government would neither participate in, nor accept the case, Sky News Arabia quoted Vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin as having said.
"The result of this arbitration will not impact China's sovereignty, rights or jurisdiction over the South China Sea under historical facts and international law," Liu added.
Earlier China boycotted the proceedings and rejected the court's authority in the case.
Beijing claims sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea, dismissing claims to parts of it from Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei.
