Sovereignty is sacred
23/11/15
Since September 2014 China
has been massively implemented activities of building, renovation and
construction the objects, which have been illegally occupied by China, in
Spratly islands.
People from many provinces and cities in Vietnam
such as Bac Lieu, Can Tho, Da Nang, Ha Noi, Hai
Phong, Phu Yen... have expressed their anger to the China’s
violations in the East Sea, especially the building artificial islands in
some spots of Vietnam’s
Spratly and Paracel Islands, illegal fishing in Vietnam’s sea or attacking vessels
of Vietnamese fisherman.
People has demanded to have feasible and stronger solutions to maintain the
independence and territorial integrity of the country; to enlist the help of
the international community and public opinion to deal with the China’s
activities.
People want the Government to finalize the legal procedures to sue China international court; to be more careful in
foreign policies, especially in the relation with China.
Vietnamese people also suggest the Government to minimize the compromise
policies to ensure the territorial integrity, national security and
sovereignty; also to update the East
Sea situation timely and
completely, to promote the propaganda of the sea sovereignty... therefore we
could raise the people’s awareness and the spirit of solidarity and
determination to safeguard the sea sovereignty of the country.
In the relation with China,
Vietnam affirms the stance
and views regularly via a lot of dialogue channels, even at high-ranking levels
and forums on border, territory between two countries, via diplomatic notes as
well as direct exchange with the China Embassy in Hanoi.
Since the begin of 2015, the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry has contacted and
exchanged 22 times with China’s Embassy, in which there were 7 contacts and 9
diplomatic notes to protest the China’s activities in the East Sea.
Vietnam has also been active to
inform the other country and international forums about the East Sea
situation, to explain the rightness of Vietnam
and the international law’s violations of China to enlist the support of
international community. A lot of leaders of foreign country have shared the
concern of Vietnam,
supported Vietnam in the East Sea
issue, called upon sides to restrain, not to widen or increase the tension.
Recently, for the first time, the East Sea
issue has been mentioned in the joint statement of the 48th ASEAN
Ministerial Meeting. ASEAN has clearly understood the threats and seriousness
of the issue and reached higher consensus among members of the group.
China is a big country, an
important neighbor of Vietnam.
Vietnam respects the stable
maintenance and sustainable development of the friendship and comprehensive
cooperation with China
on the basis of equality, mutual respect for independence, sovereignty and
territorial integrity.
Since the normalization, in general, the relation between Vietnam and China has developed stably on many
areas and brought benefits for two countries and people of each country. Two
countries have solved two on three big problems on border delimitation
including borders on land and in the Tonkin
Gulf. There is only one
big problem on the East
Sea.
This is very important, relates to sacred sovereignty of the country. This
also relates to politics, security, defense of Vietnam
and relations between Vietnam
and other countries in the region and powerful countries. If this problem is
not solved properly, it would affect badly to peace, stability and development
of our country, the region and even the world.
To solve the China’s
violations, Vietnam is
always persistent to peaceful means in the lines with the international law to
maintain the relation with China
and ensure the sovereignty of the country in the East Sea.
Therefore, we will develop the multifaceted relation with China and on the
other hand we firmly determined to defend the sovereignty, territorial
integrity and national security. /.
