Vietnam confirms China ship leaves its waters, ending month-long standoff

HANOI, Aug 8 (Reuters) - A Chinese survey ship embroiled in
a tense month-long standoff with Vietnamese vessels has left
Vietnam's continental shelf, the Southeast Asian nation's
foreign ministry confirmed on Thursday.
Late on Wednesday, Reuters reported that the Haiyang Dizhi 8
vessel, operated by the China Geological Survey, had headed away
from Vietnam's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). "In the afternoon of August 7, the Haiyang Dizhi 8 survey
vessel stopped its survey activities and left Vietnam's
Exclusive Economic Zone and southeastern continental shelf,"
foreign ministry spokeswoman Le Thi Thu Hang told a regular news
conference.
Vietnamese authorities would continue to monitor the
location of Chinese vessels in the area, Hang added.
Since early July, Vietnamese ships had been closely tracking
Chinese vessels operating in the EEZ, the latest confrontation
in waters that are a potential global flashpoint as the United
States challenges China's sweeping maritime claims.
