China and Vietnam have pledged to “peacefully” resolve a row over competing South China Sea territorial claims<\/strong>, Chinese media today quoted both sides saying after tensions spiked over the issue.<\/p>\n

The neighbors pledged to reach a “peaceful resolution of the maritime dispute between the two countries through negotiations and friendly consultations,” a report by China’s official Xinhua news agency said.<\/p>\n

The joint vow was made during talks in Beijing yesterday <\/strong>between Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo, China’s senior foreign-policy official, and Vietnamese Vice Foreign Minister Ho Xuan Son.<\/p>\n

They agreed to “take effective measures to jointly safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea”<\/strong> and speed up talks aimed at reaching an agreement on addressing bilateral maritime disputes, Xinhua said.<\/p>\n

Besides the recent Sino-Vietnamese tensions, the Philippines has also complained of increasingly aggressive actions <\/strong>by Beijing in waters claimed by both nations in the strategically vital and potentially resource-rich South China Sea.<\/p>\n

The Philippines and China — along with Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam — claim all or part of the South China Sea<\/strong>, and the area has long been considered one of Asia’s potential military flashpoints.<\/p>\n

The United States has stepped into the fray<\/strong>, pledging to support the defense of its long-time ally the Philippines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Those two countries will hold 11 days of naval exercises starting on Tuesday<\/strong> off the southwestern Philippines in a show of unity.<\/p>\n
