HANOI - New allies Vietnam and Australia expressed concern on Friday about China’s activities in the South China Sea, where Vietnamese and Chinese vessels are locked in a tense standoff in Vietnamese-controlled waters.
“We are deeply concerned about the recent complicated developments in the East Sea and agree to cooperate in maintaining peace, stability, security, safety and freedom of navigation and overflight,” said Phuc alongside Morrison at a joint press conference, using the Vietnamese name for the South China Sea.
Australian Prime Minister Morrison said the principles of international law should be upheld in the region. Australia on Wednesday announced it would join the United States in a security mission to protect merchant vessels traveling through key Middle East waterways after Iran seized a British-flagged vessel.Morrison was in Hanoi on the first official visit by an Australian prime minister since the two countries upgraded their relationship to a “strategic partnership” in March last year.
