Chinese and Vietnamese coast guards completed their first joint patrol of 2024 in the Beibu Gulf, the 27th joint patrol conducted by the two countries' maritime law enforcement agencies since 2006, the China Coast Guard (CCG) said on Tuesday.

In a statement, the CCG said two CCG vessels and two Vietnam Coast Guard (VCG) ships conducted the patrol from Saturday to Monday, when the ships observed and inspected fishing boats from both countries while patrolling along planned routes in the waters.

The CCG and VCG have been conducting joint patrols in the Beibu Gulf twice a year, creating a model of maritime law enforcement in the South China Sea, according to the statement.

The joint patrol has contributed to protecting fishery resources in the Beibu Gulf, maintaining the fishery production order, cracking down on maritime crimes and safeguarding regional security and stability, the statement said.

It added that the CCG will continue to enhance exchanges and practical cooperation with the Vietnamese side to properly handle maritime emergencies and jointly maintain maritime security and stability.
