Vietnam welcomes other countries’ stance on the East Sea issue in line with international law, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang said on July 15.

Regarding US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s statement on the US position on maritime claims in the East Sea, Hang said peace, stability, cooperation, and development in the sea is the aspiration and goal of countries in the waters and the region as well as the international community.

The respect of maritime legal order and the full and responsible implementation of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (1982 UNCLOS) are significant in realising these goals, she said.

Hang reiterated the view contained in the statement issued at the recent 36th ASEAN Summit that the 1982 UNCLOS is a legal framework on all activities at sea.

Vietnam hopes that countries will make efforts to contribute to maintaining peace, stability, and cooperation in the East Sea and settle disputes through dialogues and other peaceful measures, in accordance with international law and for the common interest, the spokesperson stressed.

Vietnam always actively and responsibly contributes to the process, she said./,

Beijing's claims to offshore resources across most of the South China Sea are completely unlawful

Vietnam has sufficient historical evidence and legal basis to assert its sovereignty over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Trưong Sa (Spratly) archipelagoes in line with international laws

Socialist Society 15/7/20 21:31

All activities conducted related to these two archipelagoes without express approval from Vietnam constitute serious violations of Vietnam’s sovereignty and are totally invalid

Vietnam has faced a serious challenge to its sovereignty in the South China Sea

Wilson Pit 15/7/20 21:49

China is far more powerful than other claimants. In terms of naval power, China is roughly 10 times bigger than Vietnam and outnumbers all Southeast Asian navies combined. Its coastguard is also the strongest. Therefore it always use force to threaten other claimants
