Li calls for maritime consent with Vietnam
Print Edition
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Tan Dung agreed yesterday to further deepen the partnership between their two countries simultaneously along three tracks of maritime, onshore and financial cooperation.
During their talks in Hanoi, the two sides committed themselves to setting up in parallel three joint work groups respectively in charge of the three areas and setting them in motion within the year so as to push forward bilateral cooperation for the benefit of both sides.
Li said that the establishment of a maritime cooperation work group is a positive signal of the two countries’ readiness to solve their disputes through cooperation.
The premier urged the two sides to pursue substantive progress in their joint development in waters out of the mouth of the Beibu Bay, a semi-enclosed sea whose delimitation remains under negotiation between China and Vietnam, and accumulate experience for broader maritime cooperation.
Calling China and Vietnam friendly neighbors, Li pointed out that a healthy steady development of bilateral ties is not only in line with the interests of both peoples but also conducive to regional peace, development and prosperity.
The two sides should steer their ties forward in the right direction and adhere to the path of win-win cooperation, he said, adding that they should also have an innovative mind in addressing their South China Sea dispute, which is now the only thorny historic leftover in bilateral relations.
Dung said Vietnam is ready to work with China to further enhance high-level contact, deepen political mutual trust and advance maritime, onshore and financial cooperation so as to achieve positive results at an early date.
