Hanoi (VNA) - The first bilateral conference between the Vietnam Coast Guard (VCG) and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) took place in Hanoi on April 24.

At the event, VCG Commander Maj. Gen Le Quang Dao and PCG Commander Admiral Ronnie Gil L Gavan spoke highly of the results of cooperation between the two sides.

Dao stressed that their relationship has been developing favourably and effectively since the two Commanders signed and exchanged the Memorandum of Understanding on bilateral maritime cooperation, under the witness of the Vietnamese and Philippine Presidents in January 2024.

About 2024 cooperation activities, they agreed that the VCG will send a ship for an exchange with the PCG. The Philippine side will consider sending officers to the second "Vietnam Coast Guard and friends" exchange, and hold the second bilateral conference in the Philippines.

Both sides will actively attend training courses and conferences hosted by each other, responsibly engage in activities within multilateral frameworks of which both are members; and continue to enhance information exchange on maritime law enforcement, combating piracy and armed robbery, and search and rescue.

They reached a high consensus on further enhancing collaboration in maritime law enforcement in accordance with international law, serving the two countries’ common goal for a secure, safe and prosperous maritime environment./.
