Vietnam's neighbor in the South China Sea, Vietnam, has sought India's help in the matter. During a meeting with Indian Foreign Secretary Harshvardhan Sringlar on Friday, Vietnam's ambassador to the country, Fame San Chou, expressed concern, Anandabazar reported. A statement from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said that Hanoi had raised the issue of "Chinese aggression" with the Vietnamese ambassador during a meeting with Schringler in New Delhi. At the same time, Fam San Chou agreed to forge a strategic friendship with India. Anandabazar says China deployed H-6J bombers to Woody Island, the largest island in the disputed Paracel Islands, earlier this month. The Chinese newspaper Global Times claimed that the move was aimed at disrupting US aircraft carriers in the area. Vietnam is also one of the claimants of the Paracel Islands. They have strongly protested China's move. Vietnam has sought India's help in extracting gas and coal blocks off the coast of the South China Sea. At the same time, the country wants to strengthen its friendship with New Delhi in the military field.
