OVs in Poland raise funds for Vietnam Coast Guard force
(VOV) - Overseas Vietnamese (OVs) in Poland on June 3 donated VND300 million to the Vietnam Coast Guard and Fisheries Resource Surveillance Forces who are protecting national sovereignty in the East Sea.
Another VND30 million was given to owners of the fishing boat DNa 90152 in Danang whose boat was sunk by a Chinese vessel in late May to help ease their suffering.
Vice Political Commissar of the Vietnam Coast Guard Maj. Gen. Hoang Van Dong expressed sincere thanks to the OV community in Poland for their support.
He confirmed that despite difficulties and dangers at sea, Vietnam Coast Guard and Fisheries Resource Surveillance Forces would stand firm to defend national sovereignty.
Over the past weeks, Chinese vessels which were deployed to protect its drilling rig Haiyang Shiyou-981 in the East Sea have intimidated and rammed law enforcement boats of Vietnam Coast Guard and Fisheries Resource Surveillance forces, causing property losses.
