Committee concerned over Chinese violations
The Vietnam Peace Committee Sunday sent a letter to the Chinese People’s Association for Peace and Disarmament, expressing concerns over Chinese ships’ recent violations of the water under Vietnam ’s sovereignty rights.
The committee said on May 26 and June 9, Chinese marine surveillance, fishery administration and fishing vessels had actions that seriously violated Vietnam ’s sovereignty and jurisdiction rights over its continental shelf and exclusive economic zone.
The Vietnam Peace Committee and the Vietnamese people were concerned over those serious and repeated violations by Chinese ships, the committee said, adding these acts cause adverse impacts on the long-standing friendship between the two peoples and public worries in the region and the world, as well as do not benefit peace and stability in the region.
The committee expressed wish the Chinese side not to let similar actions recur.
