VietNamNet Bridge – Viet Nam yesterday, March 25, protested the
actions of some Chinese ships in chasing and firing on a Vietnamese fishing
boat fishing in Vietnamese waters off its Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelago.
It also demanded that China
investigates the incident and takes remedial measures including compensating
the Vietnamese fishermen.
Responding to reporters' queries
on Viet Nam's response to the incident, Foreign Ministry spokesman Luong Thanh
Nghi said that on March 20, fishing boat QNg 96382 TS from the central province
of Quang Ngai was conducting its normal fishing activities in traditional
fishing grounds near Viet Nam's Hoang Sa archipelago when it was chased and
shot at by Chinese vessels.
He called it "an extremely
serious incident" that has violated Viet Nam's sovereignty over the Hoang
Sa archipelago, threatened the lives of Vietnamese fishermen and damaged their
property.
It was also in serious breach of
the principles of international law and the agreement on the basic principles
guiding the settlement of sea issues between Viet Nam and China, and runs
counter to the spirit of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East
Sea (DOC), the official said.
Viet Nam demands China
investigates and strictly deals with such a wrongful and inhumane action, and
compensate Vietnamese fishermen for damage suffered, Nghi said.
Also yesterday, a Foreign
Ministry representative met a Chinese Embassy representative in Ha Noi and
handed over a diplomatic note opposing the latest actions by the Chinese side.
