    Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi

    HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — A top Chinese diplomat will visit Vietnam this week after China's deployment of a giant oil rig off Vietnam's coast in May increased tensions.

    Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi and Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh will discuss the oil rig when they meet at an annual bilateral event Yang is attending, Foreign Ministry spokesman Nguyen Hai Binh told reporters.

    Yang's visit will be the highest-level meeting between the two governments since the rig was deployed on May 2.

    "As we have affirmed many times that Vietnam has always been patient to look for dialogues with China to peacefully resolve the tension in the East Sea," Binh said referring to the South China Sea. "This meeting, therefore, will surely be a channel and an event the two sides could discuss the issue to find out solutions for the current tension."

    Minh and Yang spoke by phone in early May.

    Vietnamese Foreign Ministry said in a statement at the time that Minh denounced China's placement of the oil rig, saying it seriously violated Vietnam's sovereignty and demanding China immediately withdraw the oil rig and its escorting vessels.

    Chinese Xinhua news agency, however, quoted Yang as telling Minh that Vietnam should stop harassing China's normal drilling operations.

    Vietnamese officials have said the two countries have conducted more than 30 communications since the standoff and so far the two sides have accused each other of ramming vessels.
