President Marcos tells Vietnam Ambassador Hoang Huy Chung that the eyed bilateral agreement 'will be a very, very important part' of ties between the Philippines and Vietnam. Both countries have experienced China's aggression in the South China Sea.
MANILA, Philippines – Stronger maritime cooperation between the Philippines and Vietnam – the subject of discussions between the two countries – will help bring stability to “problems” in the South China Sea, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. told outgoing Vietnam Ambassador Hoang Huy Chung when the envoy made a farewell call in Malacañang on Thursday, August 10.
Malacañang said in a statement that Marcos was “looking forward to signing an agreement with Vietnam in a bid to strengthen maritime cooperation in the West Philippine Sea.” Philippines calls the portion of the South China Sea under its exclusive economic zone as the West Philippine Sea. Marcos framed the Philippines-Vietnam ties as solid, making it easy to face “common challenges” when it comes to “territorial disputes in the South China Sea.”
