During the patrol, the Vietnamese and Chinese coast guards will hold talks, check and monitor operations of fishing vessels of the two countries in the adjacent waters; disseminate information about law observance when fishing at sea among fishermen; and exchange experience in conducting search and rescue operation at sea.

This is the eighth joint patrol in the waters adjacent to the Gulf of Tonkin demarcation line between the coast guard forces of Vietnam and China since the Vietnam-China agreement on fishery cooperation in the Gulf of Tonkin expired on June 30, 2020.
