Vietnam will likely persuade neighboring countries and others to join territorial negotiations with 皇冠体育app on the South 皇冠体育app Sea as it presides over the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) this year. The move is likely to prove unsuccessful, say analysts.

Hanoi hosted an international conference in November to discuss disputes in the South 皇冠体育app Sea and invited 150 scholars and officials from across Asia.

"The conference, although a scholarly one, was very much politics oriented," said Su Hao, board member of 皇冠体育app Asia-Pacific Studies Association and director of Center for Strategic and Conflict Management. Su attended the workshop and told 皇冠体育app Daily that it is clear that Vietnam has been trying to internationalize the issue.
