HANOI: Vietnam criticised on Thursday the recent conduct in the South China Sea of a Chinese research ship and the Philippines coast guard, accusing its neighbours of separate actions that were violating its sovereign rights.
Tensions are currently high in contested parts of the South China Sea, one of the world's most important trade routes and a conduit for more than US$3 trillion of annual ship-borne commerce. Chinese and Vietnamese vessels confronted each other in recent days on multiple occasions as a Chinese research ship moved within Hanoi's Exclusive Economic Zone , which experts said was likely a survey. Such a survey would usually be considered hostile if conducted without notification.
Asked for comment, Vietnam's foreign ministry spokesperson Pham Thu Hang told a press conference those vessels were"violating the sovereign rights and jurisdictions of Vietnam", which was taking"appropriate measures" to defend its rights., based on what it says are old maps, including waters that lie within the EEZ of Vietnam and four other Southeast Asian countries.
