'Rise quickly' to counter China: Vietnam to India

May 11, 2014

Vietnam wants India to “rise quickly” in the South-East region as it expressed concerns over China’s rising assertiveness in the South China Sea. Vietnam Ambassador Dang Dinh Quy voiced his concerns at a round table meeting of Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam (DAV), and said that Chinese navy was acting without provocation and that Chinese topmost leadership is behind in these decisions.
The meeting was held for the delegates to share information with Australian scholars around regional security matters such as US-China relations, maritime issues in the Indo pacific region and to talk about more extensively Australia’s engagement with Asia.
