Hanoi and KL reach broad understanding on sea claims

JEJU (South Korea): Malay­sia and Vietnam have reached a “broad understanding” to resolve their overlapping claims in the South China Sea, including parts of the Spratly Islands, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

He said both countries had “more or less” sorted out the portions each country owned in the stretch of waters through a joint submission to the United Nations (UN) to extend their maritime territories.
