And I think that kind of measured approach, that responsible approach is one that we agree with, one with admire and that it's being done in a very mature way that the Philippines will now take this decision and use it as a basis for moving forward," Goldberg said in an inteview on ANC's "Headstart" on Thursday.
"We've always urged all the parties, all the claimants to come to agreements in a legal, peaceful, diplomatic way and the Philippines is moving in that direction," he added.
