Vietnamese functional agencies are verifying that information, Binh said, reiterating that Vietnam has full legal foundation and historical evidence to affirm its sovereignty over Truong Sa and Hoang Sa archipelagoes.
Parties concerned need to respect Vietnam’s sovereignty, act responsibly, and take no actions that complicate the situation as well as threaten peace, stability, and maritime security and safety in the East Sea, the spokesperson said.
