APR 15, 2013 ARTICLE HISTORY PRINT SHARE
Japan and Vietnam have agreed to hold maritime security talks in May in Hanoi to accelerate maritime cooperation amid China’s increasing assertiveness in the East China Sea and South China Sea, government sources said Saturday.

The two nations are expected to exchange views on Japan’s possible provision of patrol vessels to Vietnam during the first-ever bilateral talks on maritime security, the sources said.

Vietnam has expressed hope that Japan will provide patrol boats as part of Hanoi’s efforts to improve its maritime security capabilities.

The two sides are expected to confirm their stand against China’s maritime assertiveness and the need for abiding by international law to ensure maritime security, one of the sources said.

Senior officials from Japan’s foreign and defense ministries will take part in the talks, the sources said.

Japan sees Vietnam “as a strategic partner that shares common interests,” a senior Japanese Foreign Ministry official said.

In the talks, Japan is expected to provide a briefing on China’s increasing maritime activities around the Japan-controlled Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea, including occasional entries of official Chinese ships into Japan’s territorial waters around the islands, which are claimed by China, the sources said.

Vietnam marine police to step up East Sea protection for fishermen

TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 2013 Asitimes

The Vietnam Marine Police Department has said it would beef up protection for Vietnamese fishermen fishing in the nation’s territorial waters with frequent patrols of the East Sea including areas off remote islands that it has clear sovereignty over.

It would even accompany Vietnamese fishing boats if needed, the department said, adding these measures were being taken in response to a Chinese ship illegally opening fire on a Vietnamese fishing boat recently.

“We will stay 24/24 in remote islands and coordinate with other forces to support, or even accompany the fishermen to protect them,” a VnExpress report quoted department director, Major General Nguyen Dam, as saying.

Dam said the action of the Chinese ship firing flares at Vietnamese fishing boats on March 20 was a serious violation of international laws as well as the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC).

Vietnamese marine police will ask Chinese forces to abide by international laws, he said.
