By doing so, Vietnam hopes to boost its maritime economy and strengthen national defense to protect its maritime rights.

Many measures have been taken domestically to enhance the role and operational flexibility of Vietnam’s Coast Guard throughout the years. It is time for them to deal with Vietnamese boats illegally fishing in other country’s waters.
