This was the first of such move between the two sides in 2022 and the fourth conducted after a fisheries cooperation agreement in the Gulf of Tonkin waters between Vietnam and China expired on June 30, 2020.
During their work, the forces conducted telephone exchange and supervised fishing vessels operating in the area.
They also popularised regulations on fishing and COVID-19 control, along with practicing joint search and rescue at sea.
According to Colonel Tran Van Tho, Commander of Vietnam Coast Guard Region 1, who led the Vietnamese side, the joint patrol was successful, contributing to promoting the relationship between the two Parties, States and peoples of Vietnam and China in general, and between the two Coast Guard forces in particular./.
