(VOV) – Vietnamese ambassador to Turkey Nguyen The Cuong recently handed over documents protesting against China’s illegal placement of the Haiyang Shiyou-981 oil rig inside Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone to Turkey and a number of other countries.
On June 18 Cuong presented a letter by Tran Van Hang, Chairman of the Vietnam National Assembly Committee on External Relations, to Volkan Bozkir, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.
He briefed his host on the result of an international press conference on the latest developments in the East Sea, held in Hanoi on June 16, and proposed that the National Assembly, government, and people of Turkey support Vietnam’s struggle for justice.
The same day, Cuong handed out documents on China’s illegal actions in the East Sea to ambassadors of ASEAN countries at the annual meeting the ASEAN-Ankara Committee.
On June 20, ambassador Cuong gave East Sea documents to Japanese ambassador to Turkey Yutaka Yokoi who described Chinese actions as illegal and unacceptable.
China has carried out provocative acts against not only Vietnam, but also Japan and other countries in the region, he said.
He also condemned China for sinking a Vietnamese fishing boat near Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelago in late May.
