Vietnam Coast Guard Ship Completes Visit to India
Vietnam Coast Guard ship 8002 returned to Da Nang city on September 6, concluding its visit and exchange with the Indian Coast Guard in Chennai. The visit is seen as part of efforts to strengthen maritime security cooperation between the two nations.
On the afternoon of September 6, Vietnam Coast Guard ship 8002 docked at the Command of Coast Guard Region 2 in Nui Thanh commune, Da Nang city. This marked the conclusion of its visit and work with the Indian Coast Guard in Chennai, India. This visit to India is likely part of Vietnam's efforts to deepen international cooperation, particularly in combating Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. Vietnam places importance on collaboration with the international community to ensure the sustainable use of marine resources and maritime security. Against the backdrop of China's increasingly active maritime presence in the South China Sea, enhancing maritime law enforcement capabilities and strengthening ties with regional nations are crucial components of Vietnam's national security strategy. The Vietnam Coast Guard undertakes a wide range of duties, including intensified crackdowns on illegal fishing, responding to maritime incidents, and patrolling territorial waters. This visit to India is presumed to have served as an opportunity to explore possibilities for information exchange and joint exercises as part of these ongoing activities. Source: Nhan Dan
