JAPAN on Tuesday promised Vietnam ships to strengthen its forces in the South China Sea, with the two nations describing large-scale land reclamation there as a threat to peace - a veiled reference to China.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also pledged some 100 billion yen (S$1.17 billion) in infrastructure loans after holding talks with Nguyen Phu Trong, who is on his first visit to Japan as general secretary of Vietnam's ruling Communist Party.
