US aircraft carrier arrives in Vietnam

DANANG, Vietnam - The USS Ronald Reagan's port call in Danang comes as the United States and Vietnam celebrate the 10th anniversary of their "comprehensive partnership", with the two countries sharing increasingly close trade links as well as concerns over China's growing strength in the region.

A Chinese survey vessel, multiple coast guard ships and fishing boats operated for several weeks in Vietnam's exclusive economic zone in the South China Sea, prompting a demand from Vietnam's Foreign Ministry that they leave. The boats eventually departed in early June.
