Security issues at sea most of the ministers set. Asean region has two-way trade between the bloc of US$1.700 trillion per year. If maritime security will not guarantee a direct impact on the economy of all countries in the Asean region.

Solutions of the defense minister about the arrest of fishermen?
Many times Vietnam has discussed with Malaysia and Indonesia about the arrest of fishermen, if it is handled in accordance with humanitarian law and because there is still time fishermen have been arrested and dealt with. Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development should work with the fisheries of the country, for example, signed the agreement on fishery cooperation.
When Vietnamese fishermen were arresred by foreign navy forces, and the country asked them to pursue and promote their propaganda on the part of fishermen not to violate the waters, the arrest is very limited.
Territorial sea is not clear. So based on what farmers need to avoid violations?
With Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia has been assigned already. With the overlap between Vietnam and Malaysia, two parties are exploiting them.We have assigned naval border and print maps, coordinates and disseminate leaflets for people to know that people are not violated.
The East Sea, now may be assigned, and many countries and territories are claimed, including Vietnam, China, Philippines,and Brunei. Therefore the parties must negotiate. The parties are in talks at expert level talks to study the principles of each, then proceed to negotiate steps.
Minister says the measures pushed gently as if chasing fishermen violating each other's waters. So Vietnam has enough forces to pursue the issue?
Tthe Party and State will facilitate close more ships for the navy, marine police, border forces and other forces to be capable of managing our waters. Vietnam has an area of one million kilometer squares of sea, on the 3, 200km long coastline, its forces are still thin, so even as active as ever, does not preclude a place, a time of foreign fishing vessels still waters of infringement us.
The motto is to keep the sovereignty, territory and friendly relations with neighboring countries; propagation speed chase prevention is key, when we repeated violations captured and handled according to the law of Vietnam; local traffic authorities dealt with quickly, do not infringe the body of fishermen and fishing gears countries.
