The peaceful settlement of disputes without the use or threat to use force in the East Sea emerged as a pressing concern at an international conference held in the northern city of Quang Ninh from October 23-24. In the new era, the East Sea is poised to become a dynamic hub for global growth and prosperity, serving as a bridge between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Its strategic location makes it a crucial link in the global supply chain and a cultural crossroads where civilisations converge. Therefore, maintaining stability and peace in the waters is of concern to many countries. Source: Vietnam News Agency
