HANOI - A Vietnamese fishermen's group has called on the government to take stronger measures for the removal of a Chinese oil survey vessel that Vietnam accuses of violating its sovereignty in the South China Sea.
The busy waterway will be high on the agenda this week as countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations meet in Bangkok with foreign ministers from China, the United States and other powers. The group posted the statement, dated July 29, on its website on Tuesday. It said it had also been sent to the foreign ministry, the defense ministry and other government agencies.
"The Vietnam Fisheries Society strongly opposes the Chinese side's activities that seriously violate Vietnam's sovereignty and Vietnamese laws, affecting the fishing activities of Vietnamese fishermen in Vietnamese waters," it said.
