Hanoi - The top diplomats of Vietnam and China on Wednesday pledged to strengthen relations despite territorial conflicts over the South China Sea.
As current chair of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN), Vietnam would "do our best to strengthen strategic relations between ASEAN and China generally, and between Vietnam and China in particular," Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Khiem told Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi.
Yang was in Hanoi to meet ASEAN foreign ministers and attend the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) on Thursday and Friday.
Regular meetings would be held to move "stagnant issues" forward, Khiem said, including the dispute over maritime borders in the South China Sea.
"I can say the relations between two sides are heading for open opportunities," Yang said. "We are ready to strengthen relations with Vietnam."
Vietnam and China can look back on 60 years of diplomatic ties, but are in conflict over maritime territorial claims in the South China Sea, in particular the disputed Paracel and Spratly Islands.
Chinese patrols have seized dozens of Vietnamese fishing boats over the past two years, leading to repeated diplomatic protests.
Vietnam has attempted to persuade other ASEAN members with similar disputes to negotiate as a bloc, but China has insisted on dealing bilaterally.
"Vietnam doesn't want to be pushed into the camp of being seen as confronting China," said Carl Thayer, a Vietnam expert at the Australian National Defence University.
The new approach was a "cooperative, rather than a confrontational, approach to conflict," he said.
On Tuesday, ASEAN foreign ministers called for a Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, and eventually a Regional Code of Conduct.
Such a document would commit all signatories to respect the freedom of sea and air traffic movement in and above the South China Sea.
ASEAN members Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam have their own, partly conflicting claims to the Spratly archipelago, as does non-ASEAN-member Taiwan. Vietnam also claims the Paracel islands further north.
The remaining ASEAN member countries are Myanmar, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Singapore and Thailand.

GOOG is the stock market symbol for google on the NASDAQ stock exchange market.
From now on you “the original google kid” is nick named GOOG.
You have started it all, and now there are so many of your copycats, and we don’t know who is who.
So GOOG is for your only, ok Viet kid.
GOOG, years ago you were my neighbor and I told you several times not to let the horses fucking your big mouth, but you did not listen to me. Now look at what has happen to you; you stutter in public 2 to 3 and sometime 4 times before you can hear yourself talking. And you think that other people were like you. No kid, you are wrong, we are not messed up like you are, ok.
Your mouth and hearing are all fucked up. Your brain is functioning at 50% capacity and it keeps on declining…. I don’t want to mention about your sight and sense of smell, they are probably FUBR = fuck up beyond recognition.
Your breath stings, but I cannot figure out the strange pungent smell. Oh, it ought to be from those horses’ cum, heh. So, do us a favor, just shut it; people can smell it for miles when you are around. Can you smile for me; I like to see how many teeth you have left. ; )
To Chinese Gov't,
Vietnam try to form or United with Cambodia and Lao to attack you in the future!...so, becareful and please teach Vietnam some more lessons if you don't mind...

I agreed w/u. I think exstreamist either way is very dangerouse for the country. Especially the young country in the process of developing it country. Definately the opposition can play the job of check and balance to not let the cumbanne govt. become dictator. Prime Minister should be in place. Nobody can governce for life, thus, this go for HS as well. Even King Sihanouk think of his succession. It is about time that Cambodian think about the next person that could take Cambodian to the next level of development! Definately not klatocracy....This very dangerouse because it only maintain, surpression and persisitant of opression and poverty for Cambodian and her country...
No need to Google, Thai whores are everywhere added by Google. The one is more fun Thai whores are on the Thai Monkey King videos. Thai Monkey King & Thai whores look great together.
