Vietnam’s legislative body National Assembly (NA) needs to work on the territorial and maritime disputes in the East Sea (South China Sea) and the environmental disaster in the central coastal region caused by the Taiwanese Formosa steel plant, said Ho Chi Minh City-based senior lawyer Truong Trong Nghia, who was member of the parliament in the 13th and 14th tenure.
Mr. Nghia, who is among 494 qualified legislators for the next term in the 2016-2021 made this statement after the parliament unveiled the working program of the 14th parliament in its first session scheduled on July 20-29.
The East Sea issue has not been included in the program which has spared no time for the newly-elected legislator discuss the environmental catastrophe in the central region, Mr. Nghia said, adding the parliament will only receive report on the Formosa case from the government.
The two issues are crucially important for Vietnam and the parliament should work carefully on them to find proper measures to deal with, he noted.
After the Permanent Court of Arbitration rejecting the historic claims of China in the East Sea, Beijing may take more aggressive moves to violate Vietnam’s sovereignty in the sea so the Southeast Asian nation should well prepare for that, he said.
In the past sessions of the 13th parliament, the East Sea issue was not discussed, he noted.
Meanwhile, foreign media reported the ongoing suppression of Vietnam’s government against local activists who have urged the government to take bolster acts to deal with China’s expansionism in the East Sea.
On Sunday, the security forces in Hanoi violently detained dozens anti-China activists who planned to hold a peaceful demonstration to support the PCA’s ruling and request China to go out of the East Sea. Some activists were reportedly beaten during interrogation in police stations.
