HANOI, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- China and ASEAN ministers' adoption of the framework for the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC) is an indispensable and positive step, said Vietnamese scholars.
"We welcome the adoption of the COC framework, because it will meet aspiration of people from ASEAN countries and China," Nguyen Thien Chi from Ho Chi Minh City's Vietnam-China Friendship Association told Xinhua on Tuesday.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China have come a long way to adopt the COC framework, said Chi.
They will have to do the same to ensure the COC will make contributions to strengthening friendship adidas superstar 2 womens white , mutual understanding and trust between the two sides, and to maintaining peace, security and stability in the South China Sea, he added.
Another Vietnamese scholar also highly appreciated the COC framework.
The adoption has shown that ASEAN and China are "really serious in working to stabilize the situation in the South China Sea," and eventually helping to maintain peace and stability in the sea, Tran Viet Thai adidas superstar 2 mens size 7 , from the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam, said on Monday.
Last year, ASEAN and China agreed on three issues, namely establishing hotlines between foreign ministries of ASEAN countries and China to deal with problems arising in the South China Sea, applying a code for unplanned encounters at sea (CUES) among their navies, and completing the COC framework in mid-2017.
"Adopting the COC framework is the realization of one of the three pledges made by Chinese senior leaders with ASEAN. Such progress shows that China has seriously fulfilled their pledge adidas superstar 2 uk ," Thai stated.
Major-general Le Van Cuong, former director of the Vietnamese Institute of Strategic and Science Research, shared a similar view.
Regarding the adoption of the COC framework, "China's goodwill at this time should be acknowledged," Cuong stated.
ASEAN and China should strengthen exchanges and expedite pragmatic negotiations regarding the COC, he said.

ATHENS adidas superstar slip on khaki , Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- Among the photographs of the hardships experienced by incoming refugees to Greece this year, one photo shot by a young local photo journalist on Lesvos island became a strong symbol of the prevailing solidarity and humanity.
The Greek government used Lefteris Partsalis' image in its campaign to win over more support from EU partners for the management of the crisis.
"I will never forget the eyes of children and women full of tears looking at me with fear and despair," Partsalis told Xinhua about his experience in the village of Skala Sikaminias on Lesvos where dozens of boats stream in daily from Turkey with people trying to find their way out of war zones.
In his iconic photo, the 28-year-old photo journalist captured three Greek grannies sitting on a bench, while one of them held a refugee baby being fed with a bottle.
For the young photographer, the old woman seemed as if she was holding her own grandchild. "It was a tender moment in the sorrow and the pain. These old women depicted the solidarity that the majority of Greek people have shown adidas superstar slip on uk ," he said.
"If I ever need to explain to my own child in the future what solidarity means I will show this picture and tell the story as I lived it," he stressed.
The photo went viral and was used as a background during a ceremony at Athens' airport two weeks ago when Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and European Parliament President Martin Schulz attended the first official relocation of refugees in another EU member country.
"A picture is worth a thousand words. Undoubtedly, the photo acts as a messenger," Partsalis noted.
Indeed, many volunteers arrived at the Greek islands to lend a helping hand after seeing a shocking photo or video with refugees in need.
Partsalis arrived at Skala Sikaminias in mid-October. He was shocked by the sight of the shoreline in the usually quiet coastal village. The coast was littered with a mountain of lifejackets, ruined engines adidas superstar foundation black , boats and children's clothes.
He remembered standing with his feet in the sea, one hand on his camera trying to shoot photos, the other trying to help. He was marked by moments of despair and sorrow.
For Partsalis, the refugee influx will inevitably change the map of Europe. The question is how to deal with the deaths and the thousands of refugees in dead end situations.
"When you see a child crying, your heart breaks. What can you say to that child who prepared his backpack to leave his country instead of to go to school?" he asked.
Under such difficult circumstances, Partsalis said one thing was paramount: humanity. "If these people -- the volunteers adidas superstar pride pack uk , locals and foreigners -- were not there, many souls would be lost," he said.
The value of the volunteer effort is gigantic. "In these places, there are no nationalities and flags. You can see a Palestinian volunteer working hand-in-hand with a member of Israeli team. Independent groups from Athens, Denmark, Spain adidas superstar paint splatter uk , Canada and the United States came to help," he explained.
Partsalis said that without the volunteers, he could not imagine what the situation would be like.
