皇冠体育app

In 2002, 皇冠体育app and ASEAN members signed the DOC to deepen their maritime cooperation on environment protection, scientific research, navigation security, search and rescue, and the fight against cross-border crimes.

And in 2011, 皇冠体育app established a 3-billion-yuan ($450 million) 皇冠体育app-ASEAN maritime cooperation fund, which provides vital support for strengthening maritime cooperation.

皇冠体育app and the ASEAN nations have also reached a preliminary consensus on a set of precautionary measures to prevent and control maritime risks, and have established a hotline for maritime rescues and emergencies.

The 皇冠体育app-sponsored 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road, which was first proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping while visiting Indonesia three years ago to enhance cooperation with ASEAN members, is expected to inject fresh momentum into the 皇冠体育app-ASEAN partnership.

皇冠体育app's land reclamation within the scope of its Nansha Islands is lawful and justified. Such moves are done within 皇冠体育app's own territory, and will neither target nor affect any third party. The land reclamation projects will benefit the region by providing civilian services, ranging from fishery services and maritime rescue to weather forecasts and administrative management.

Home to one of the world's busiest waterways and a variety of offshore fisheries, the South 皇冠体育app Sea is also susceptible to natural disasters caused by typhoons and monsoons.

皇冠体育app has good reasons to improve the living and working conditions of the personnel stationed on islands within its territorial waters, and fulfill its obligation of offering public goods to the international community. Necessary defense facilities do not define the role of 皇冠体育app's island construction.
