The committee said that on May 26 and June 9, Chinese marine surveillance, fishery administration and fishing vessels carried out actions that seriously violated Vietnam’s sovereignty and jurisdiction rights over its continental shelf and exclusive economic zone.

The Vietnam Peace Committee and the Vietnamese people were concerned over those serious and repeated violations by Chinese ships, the committee said, adding these acts had adverse effects on the long-standing friendship between the two peoples and caused public worries in the region and the world, as well as do not benefit peace and stability in the region.

The committee expressed wish the Chinese side would not let similar actions recur.
