HANOI: Vietnam asked China to honour the signed agreement on the Gulf of Tonkin as well as the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos), the foreign ministry says in response to a question regarding China's declaration of a new baseline outlining its territory in this gulf.
Spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pham Thu Hang, during the press conference in Hanoi on Thursday (March 14) afternoon, said that on Dec 25, 2000, the two countries signed an agreement on the delimitation of the Gulf of Tonkin, which went into effect on June 30, 2004, delimitating each other's territorial seas, exclusive economic zones and continental shelves within the Gulf of Tonkin.
