In his meeting with his Vietnamese counterpart, Chinese defense chief Li Shangfu says the international situation was chaotic and intertwined, and the security of the Asia-Pacific region was facing challenges.
BEIJING, China – China is willing to work with Vietnam to strengthen high-level communication and cooperation between their militaries, Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu said on Tuesday, June 27, as he met his Vietnamese counterpart.
“China and Vietnam should continue to work hand in hand and closely unite in the new journey of socialism, safeguard the common strategic interests of the two countries, and make positive contributions to regional peace and stability,” Li said in the talks with Vietnam’s defense minister, Phan Van Giang.
The US navy visit comes amid tension between China and the United States in the South China Sea, most of which China claims, as the two powers jostle for influence in the energy-rich region. Both Li and Austin attended a security summit in Singapore in early June but Li declined the offer of a meeting.
