This activity aims to enhance cooperation in combating maritime crimes and legal violations, especially during the year-end period.

The joint patrol, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles from Point 1 to Point 9 along the Gulf of Tonkin demarcation line, is crucial for trade between Vietnam and China. However, it is also exploited for smuggling, trade fraud, illegal goods transportation, and unauthorized sea border crossings.

The VCG actively raised public awareness, informing dozens of fishing vessels from both countries about the importance of adhering to regulations against illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. This effort supports the lifting of the European Commission's "yellow card" warning and promotes the sustainable development of Vietnam's fisheries sector.

A day earlier, the VCG released 10 containers of juvenile grouper into the bordering waters to enrich marine resources.

Starting in 2024, joint patrols in the bordering waters are conducted quarterly by the coast guard forces of Vietnam and China to maintain security and order while ensuring legal compliance among citizens of both countries.
