Sri Lanka supports Vietnam’s stance on demanding China adhere to the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and withdraw its drilling rig HD-981 out of Viet Nam’s sovereignty and exclusive economic zone, the Vietnam Prime Minister’s office said.

Sri Lanka’ PM D.M. Jayaratne made the statement at a reception given by PM Nguyen Tan Dung yesterday (May 9), regarding the East Sea issue.

He proposed dealing with the issue by peaceful measures on the basis of the international law.

The host leader affirmed that Viet Nam will do its utmost to work with Sri Lanka to make the two nations’ relations more efficient.

He welcomed Sri Lanka’s delegation led by PM D.M. Jayaratne to the United Nations Day of Vesak in Viet Nam and praised the country on its achievements over the past years.

He suggested the two nations support each other at multi-lateral forums, boost economic, trade and tourism cooperation, sign a bilateral agreement on trade and a cooperative plan between the two nations’ Ministries of Finance as well as set up a sub-committee on commerce.

The Vietnamese PM expects that Sri Lanka will create favorable conditions for Vietnamese businesses to launch long-term operation in its nation.

PM D.M. Jayaratne also confirmed that his country expects to cooperate with Viet Nam in crime prevention, realizing ethnic policies, science and technology.

SL's president is the top official. It will be more alarming if it is out of his mouth.

Do not fall for troll trick. It's a mis report and spin by media. I never believe Sri Lankan will take stance in this issue.

The only thing say by SL PM is resolving this issue by dialogue.

At the end of the day, SL wants to have nothing to do with that, let alone "support"...

All other countries will do exactly the same. What are the benefits offending China??? They want China's market, investment and etc. Offending China will help them get those???

Denied !?
It's wirte on title: "Play down"
They don't want to upset Chinese Govt, so they must correct their position on this issue, but they're still support Vietnam's peaceful solution which base on DOC and UNCLOS was signed by Vietnamese and Chinese Govt.

You can definitely try that.

good good..now don't blame India next time we claim Pakistan don't have any sea to start with..something like this might be interesting..

Zheng He from China went to Sri Lanca and he made a stone mark in SL land. in future China could refer to travel to claim that nine-dash is reached toSri Lanca .

So China could bring his rig to SL water to dril oil.

Don't be an idiot. China has never based any SCS claims on ZhengHe. BTW, he reached the shore of Africa as well. You will see the absurdity of your remarks. I have no idea where you get that from.

The letter stated N. VN authority respect 12 n miles coastline of mainland China only which related to North VN after 1954,

Hoang Sa and Truong belong to South Vietnam in according to Geneva Accord 1954, China and North Vietnam signed it. China have to check before when you could sign in international agreement. Same as case is happent when you signed in UNCLOS.

China stop lie about nature of this letter.

Don't be an idiot. China has never based any SCS claims on ZhengHe. BTW, he reached the shore of Africa as well. You will see the absurdity of your remarks. I have no idea where you get that from.

You can check on comments of Chinese forumers on PDF, what kind of idiot said that Zheng He on his travel to oversea "discovered " the Islands in SCS ?

 

[BoQ77]

zheng he discovered that this world is plain, and center of it in China.

usa marked their sovereign on the Moon, and it is illegal to put Chinese Yutu onto that .

Christopher Colombus discoverred Indian in nowaday America. so it belong to India.

You try to win over moral support for Vietnam against China that your job since you're a Vietnamese, same go with Chinese poster they want to defend China position in the SCS. You're no different compare to Chinese poster in here, both of you staged your claim of ownership in the SCS for your own nation.

South China Sea issue not problem between China, ASEAN, says FM spokeswoman
Editor: zhenglimin 丨Xinhu

BEIJING, May 10 (Xinhua) -- The South China Sea issue is not a problem between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said here on Saturday.

Hua made the remarks after ASEAN foreign ministers issued a statement in Myanmar on Saturday, in which they expressed "serious concerns" over the ongoing developments in the South China Sea and called for a peaceful resolution.

"The Chinese side is always opposed to one or two countries' attempts to use the South Sea issue to harm the overall friendship and cooperation between China and the ASEAN," said the spokeswoman.

Hua said China stands ready to work together with the ASEAN to continue implementing the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) comprehensively and effectively to safeguard peace and stability in the region.

China and the members of the ASEAN signed the DOC in 2002 and pledged to maintain restraint and not conduct activities that might complicate or escalate disputes in the region.

The Chinese side also hopes that ASEAN countries concerned will sincerely respect and implement the DOC and make positive contribution to peace and stability as well as maritime security in the sea, she added.

The ASEAN groups Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

HANOI, Vietnam — State media say a Vietnamese patrol boat has exchanged water cannon fire with Chinese vessels near an oil rig recently positioned by China in disputed waters.

Two journalists for the Tuoi Tre newspaper reported they witnessed the exchange Monday in the South China Sea.

It was the first reported incident since last Wednesday in a tense standoff at the oil rig, which is surrounded by dozens of Chinese vessels. Both sides have accused the other of ramming ships.

The newspaper said the Vietnamese vessel displayed a banner in Chinese urging Beijing to withdraw the rig.

It said Chinese ships fired water cannons first, after which the Vietnamese ship responded.

Beijing deployed the rig on May 1, triggering the most serious incident in years in waters considered a possible global flashpoint.
