[Original: English/French] [24 January /983] Kampuchea, the Government of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam signed, on 7 July 1982, an .. agreement" with its puppet regime in­ stalled in Phnom Penh on what they termed the .. historical waters of the two countries ... In the meantime, on 12 November 1982, four weeks before signing the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,3 the Gov­ ernment of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, referring to the .. agreement·· with its puppet Phnom Penh regime, issued a statement on the territorial sea baseline of Viet Nam which absorbed large tracts of the sea waters of Kampuchea. This constitutes another act of aggression and annexation bla­ tantly committed by the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam against Democratic Kampuchea, a sovereign State Member of the United Nations. Since the brutal invasion of Kampuchea by the armed forces of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam on 25 December 1978, Demo­ cratic Kampuchea has on several occasions declared null and void all treaties, conventions and agreements signed by the Vietnamese-installed puppet regime in Phnom Penh so as to cover up the flagrant violation of the independence, sovereignty and ter­ ritorial integrity of Democratic Kampuchea by the Vietnamese ag­ gressors. The Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea always abides by this position. Consequently, the Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea totally rejects and considers null and void the aforementioned .. agreement of 7 July 1982"" and the .. statement of 12 November 1982"".

**Analysis**
The text appears to be a diplomatic statement condemning the actions of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam regarding the territorial waters of Democratic Kampuchea. It mentions the signing of an agreement and a subsequent statement by Vietnam, which the Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea rejects and considers null and void. The statement does not mention economic, natural, or environmental issues, nor does it relate to specific industries or sectors. It seems to be primarily focused on international relations and territorial disputes.
