Chinese vessels often breach Vietnam’s territorial waters
09:46, 2014/09/20
As many as 1,200 Chinese fishing vessels illegally enter the territorial waters of Vietnam to harvest fish annually, a conference heard in Danang on September 19.
Reviewing the Vietnam-China Fishery Cooperation Agreement in the Bac Bo (Tonkin) Gulf, delegates warned fisheries resources in the Tonkin Gulf are declining due to overexploitation.
Nguyen Ngoc Oai, deputy head of the General Fisheries Department and Chairman of the Vietnam-China Joint Committee for Cooperation in Fisheries (VCJCCF), suggested that the two countries should increase the fish stockings in the Gulf to halt the deterioration.
Since the beginning of this year, Vietnamese localities have been implementing this task to increase fisheries resources, he said.
Delegates also agreed that both countries have made bona fide efforts to ensure security and peace in the East Sea and have conducted themselves within the spirit of the Fishery Cooperation Agreement, since it was signed ten years ago.
