He also raised some questions about the implementation of the law, for instance the scope of the operation of the Coast Guard force mentioned in Clause 2, Article 11, and the range of patrol of the Coast Guard in Clause 2, Article 13 of the draft.

Meanwhile, Major General Sung Thin Co, Deputy Commander of Military Zone 2, Ministry of Defense, Deputy of the NA delegation of Ha Giang province said that the Coast Guard of Vietnam, which was established 20 years ago, is the major law enforcement force and responsible for international missions at sea. Once maritime sovereignty disputes arise, the Coast Guard, in addition to the Navy, directly engages in fighting to defend national sovereignty.

Major General Sung Thin Co also emphasized the significance of building the Law on Vietnam Coast Guard as well as of building an elite and modern Coast Guard force in the context of increasingly complicated developments in the region.
