China’s current actions in Vietnamese waters adversely impact the political trust and friendly relations to which both Vietnamese and Chinese from different walks of life have brought active contributions. So said the Vietnam-China Friendship Association in a message dated May 10th to the China-Vietnam Friendship Association.
The Vietnamese organization requested its Chinese counterpart “to raise a responsible voice and inform Chinese competent bodies with a view to a reasonable, peaceful and negotiated settlement conducive to the implementation of the agreements and shared perceptions between senior leaders of the two countries and of the Vietnam-China agreement on basic principles guiding settlement of sea-related issues”./.
