Vietnam, China conduct joint patrol in Tonkin Gulf The Vietnam People�s Navy and the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) of China have conducted the 11th joint petrol in the Bac Bo (Tonkin) Gulf. Two Vietnamese naval boats, the HQ375 and HQ376, led by Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff Colonel Nguyen Van Kiem, and two PLAN boats, 755 and 733, led by Nanhai Fleet Colonel Liang Shanguo, began the two-day joint petrol at 8am on June 19 (Hanoi time) with a journey of more than 300 nautical miles along the delimitated waters that border Vietnam and China in the Tonkin Gulf. The patrol was intended to maintain security and order at sea, supervise fishing vessels� activities and ensure that the Agreement on Fishing Cooperation in the Tokin Gulf and the Agreement on Delimitation of the Tonkin Gulf signed between the Vietnamese and Chinese Governments was being carried out. The patrol also aimed to stabilise normal production activities of the two countries� fishermen in the Tonkin Gulf, to share experiences between the two navies and promote the friendship between the two navies, armies and peoples. http://english.vovnews.vn/Home/Vietnam-Chi...0116/127652.vov

New Delhi, June 27 (IANS) Vietnam's navy chief and deputy minister Vice Admiral Nguyen Van Hien Monday met his Indian counterpart Admiral Nirmal Verma here when the two sides discussed security challenges in the Indian Ocean region, apart from the scope for expanding defence cooperation between the two countries. Nguyen, who arrived in India June 24, also discussed possibilities of India's help to build capacities of the Vietnamese naval force, which is small and growing, when compared with the Indian Navy. The Vietnamese navy chief had already completed his visit to Mumbai, where he visited the Indian Navy's Western Command and defence public sector shipbuilder Mazagon Dock Limited before reaching New Delhi. Apart from interacting with the Western Naval Command chief, Vice Admiral D.K. Joshi, the Vietnamese navy chief had also got to take a look at Indian warship building capacities and functioning of the defence shipyard, the officials said. He is scheduled to meet Indian Defence Minister A.K. Antony, air force chief Air Chief Marshal P.V. Naik and army chief General V.K. Singh, as part of his bilateral talks. Nguyen will go to Visakhapatnam on Wednesday where he will visit the newly-acquired defence public sector shipbuilder Hindustan Shipyard Limited, apart from visiting naval formations. Source
