He went on to say that China’s installation of the oil rig Haiyang Shiyou-981 and its aggressive actions in Viet Nam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf have only undermined the stability in the region.

The Thai Major General called on relevant parties to respect the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Countries around the world have voiced no support for China’s aggressive actions in Viet Nam’s waters./.
