Vietnam has called on the US and China to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, which Vietnam calls the East Sea after a recent confrontation of the two countries' warships.

This week, US defense officials have confirmed that the USS Decatur came dangerously close to a Chinese destroyer during a recent exercise in the South China Sea. The US destroyer then was forced to perform evasive manoeuvres to avoid a collision.
