Participating in the joint patrol, on the Vietnam Coast Guard side, there were CSB 3003, 4001 ships and boat 720 led by Lieutenant Colonel Ngo The Trung - Deputy Commander of the Navy, Chief of Staff of the Navy 11/Command of the Coast Guard Region 1 as commander of the Vietnam joint inspection force. On the Chinese Coast Guard side, there were Coast Guard ship squadron 22603 and boat squadrons 22030, 22031 led by Major Vuong Sieu - Deputy Director of the Coast Guard Bureau of Fangchenggang, Guangxi Province as commander of the China joint inspection force.
The scope of this joint patrol extends from point 1 to point 9 on the demarcation line of the Gulf of Tonkin, a distance of 102 nautical miles. This is an area with many import-export activities and exchange of goods between Vietnam and China. At the same time, it is also an area that subjects take advantage of to conduct illegal activities such as smuggling, trade fraud, illegal border crossing, and illegal entry by sea.

During the patrol, the Vietnam Coast Guard actively propagated and informed dozens of fishing boats operating in the border sea area to strictly comply with regulations on IUU fishing in order to contribute to removing the yellow card of the European Commission (EC) and developing the Vietnamese fisheries industry in a sustainable manner.
| From 2024, the Coast Guards of the two countries will conduct joint patrols in the border waters once a quarter to regularly maintain security and order, and ensure compliance with the law by the people of the two countries. This contributes to preserving and developing the traditional friendly neighborly relationship between the two countries and peoples in general and between the Vietnam - China Coast Guards in particular. |
