OVs in UK protest against China’s East Sea violation
(VOV) - Vietnamese expatriates in the UK strongly condemned China’s East Sea violation and asked China to remove the giant drilling rig Ocean-981 out of Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf.
At a meeting in London on May 14, Son Thanh, President of the Vietnamese Association in the United Kingdom (VAUK), called on overseas Vietnamese (OVs) in the UK to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Government in protecting national territory and sovereignty and carry out practical activities to support soldiers garrisoned on in Vietnam’s sea and islands.

The VAUK and other Vietnamese organisations in the UK plan to stage a peaceful demonstration in front of the Chinese Embassy in London on May 18 to show their protest against China’s violation of Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf.
The association will launch a fund-raiser to support island soldiers and fishermen affected by China’s recent provocation.
