Vietnam, US discuss Asia-Pacific situation at Defense Dialogue
UPDATED : 10/03/2015 14:04 GMT + 7
The complicated situation in Asia-Pacific was among the key issues discussed at the 6th Vietnam-U.S. Defense Policy Dialogue that wrapped up Friday in Washington D.C.
Sovereignty disputes as well as claims and actions that go against international law are worrying nations both inside and outside the Asia-Pacific region, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for South and Southeast Asia Amy Searight said, referring to the situation in the region.
The U.S’s stance is that all disputes would be resolved through peacefully and that any actions that run against international law would be stopped, Searight told Deputy Defense Minister Nguyen Chi Vinh, who led the Vietnamese delegation at the dialogue, which kicked off on September 29.
Regarding the U.S.-Vietnam ties, Searight expressed her pleasure at the sound development of the two countries’ relations in general and their defense ties in particular.
The U.S. official affirmed that the bilateral defense cooperation has been effectively promoted within the framework of the 2011 memorandum of understanding (MoU) on boosting bilateral defense cooperation.
She highly appreciated both sides’ efforts to step up cooperation under the said MoU, the 2015 Joint Vision Statement on Defense Relations, and other bilateral agreements.
The two sides have achieved remarkable results in handling the aftermath of war, including bomb and mine clearance, dioxin detoxification, search for the remains of soldiers, humanitarian assistance, and search and rescue operations, the U.S. official said.
She added that the two countries have also coordinated closely at multilateral forums.
Deputy Ministry Vinh told his host that the Asia-Pacific region is facing a risk of instability and conflict, which requires nations involved to exercise restraint, participate in peace talks, share viewpoints and unity at multilateral forums, and work towards the building of a Code of Conduct in the East Vietnam Sea on the basis of international law and the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
He also stressed the need of avoiding any actions that can complicate the situation.
The Vietnamese official highly valued the U.S.’s efforts in dealing with the consequences of war, particularly projects to address the dioxin contamination at the Da Nang airport in the central city of Da Nang and assess the environment at the Bien Hoa airport in the southern province of Dong Nai.
He also highlighted the results of the cooperation between Vietnam and the U.S in relation to United Nations peacekeeping operations, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and maritime security.
The Vietnamese official also handed over to the U.S. side several war remembrances of U.S. soldiers who fought in Vietnam.

Guests attend a completion ceremony for the construction of Huayang and Chigua Lighthouses on Huayang Reef of China's Nansha Islands, Oct. 9, 2015, marking the start of the operation of the two lighthouses. (Xinhua/Chen Yichen)

So, both of the lighthouses have been constructed and started regular operations.
Another step in China's inclusive growth and security scheme.

This is amazingly quick and another testament to China's skill and speed in building infrastructure.
