BEIJING, Aug. 10 (UPI) -- China Daily reports ministerial meetings between China and Vietnam on implementing a border agreement on the Gulf of Tonkin.
A Chinese delegation led by Vice Foreign Minister Wang Yi, exchanged views with Vietnamese counterpart Vu Dung. The two met in Nanning, capital of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southern China.
Discussions centered on ways to implement a consensus reached by heads of state from the two countries when they met in Beijing this May.
A joint statement said a hotline and diplomatic mechanisms should be set up to deal with land border issues. Both sides promised not take provocative in carrying out the agreement on demarcation and fishing cooperation in the Beibu Gulf, which took effect on July 30.
Beibu Gulf is the place name used by China for the Gulf of Tonkin, a body of water bounded by Vietnam, the Chinese mainland and its island province Hainan.
