NEW DELHI: Vietnam has briefed India about the escalating tension in the South China Sea in the wake of China significantly ramping up its military presence by deploying a large number of ships and fighter jets in the resource-rich region notwithstanding the calls for restraint by several countries.
The issue figured during Vietnamese ambassador Pham Sanh Chau’s meeting with Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla on Friday, people familiar with the development said.
They said the Vietnamese envoy gave an account of the current situation in the South China Sea including around Vietnamese waters where India’s ONGC has oil exploration projects. (AGENCIES)
