Speaking at the Ministry’s regular press conference, Spokesperson Hang said the ban violates not only Vietnam’s sovereignty over its Hoang Sa (Paracel) but also the country’s sovereign right and jurisdiction over its exclusive economic zone as defined in accordance with the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
Vietnam demand that China respect its sovereignty over Hoang Sa and sovereignty, sovereign right and jurisdiction over its waters, not further complicate the situation, and contribute to maintaining peace, stability and order in the East Sea region, the Spokesperson stressed.
