Colonel Nguyen Duc Hieu, representing the Coast Guard Region 3 Command, suggested strengthening information exchange between the two countries’ coast guard agencies. He emphasized the importance of Thailand’s support in verifying and investigating information related to drug trafficking by sea. To further enhance collaboration, Hieu proposed establishing a hotline dedicated to combating drug-related crimes.

Moving forward, both parties aim to improve their joint efforts in patrolling and controlling the adjacent sea area. By increasing the efficiency of detecting, preventing, and addressing violations and crimes, they strive to create a safer maritime environment. Additionally, they recognize the value of further cooperation in training and the sharing of modern equipment to enhance drug control capabilities.

Vietnamese Football Club Ordered to Pay $73,000 to Slovakian Team for Player Training Expenses

“We have successfully completed the transfer of fines and compensation to the designated recipient, effectively resolving the issue,” said Ngo Quoc Ta, Chairman of SHB Da Nang FC, a top-tier V-League 1 team in Vietnam, in an interview with Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Tuesday. “The incident has served as a valuable lesson for our club and other professional football clubs,” Ta added. Bui Xuan Hoa, Ta’s predecessor, attributed the incident to the team’s lack of expertise in the regulations and legal procedures surrounding the transfer of player Pham Thanh Tiep. Tiep, who was born in Slovakia in 1996 and trained at FC Banik Prievidza, a team in the Slovak third-tier league, since the age of 12, joined SHB Da Nang on a trial basis in early 2019 and eventually secured a two-year contract. However, due to a mismatch in playing style, Tiep terminated his contract with SHB Da Nang and reimbursed one year’s worth of the signing fee. According to FIFA regulations, when a club signs a prof...
