The Navy must stay well-informed of the situation to provide timely and accurate advice for the Party, State, Central Military Commission, and Ministry of National Defence to firmly safeguard national sovereignty over seas and islands while maintaining a peaceful and stable maritime environment for national development, said the Party leader.

In the context of increasingly complex developments in the East Sea/South China Sea, communication campaigns to protect maritime and island sovereignty linked to fisheries exploitation have been carried out in a coordinated manner. These efforts have helped raise fishermen’s awareness, reduce violations, and lay the groundwork for sustainable fisheries development.

The liaison board of the “For Viet Nam’s Seas and Islands” network in Europe on June 29 held an award ceremony in Berlin for the “For the Homeland’s Seas and Islands” writing and painting contest.

The Vietnam Fisheries Society (VINAFIS) has voiced its objection to China’s unilateral fishing ban in the East Sea/South China Sea for 2023.
