VOV.VN - As repeatedly affirmed, Vietnam has full legal basis and historical evidence to affirm its sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos in accordance with international law, as well as its sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction over its territorial waters established in line with the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

VOV.VN - The nation demands that relevant Chinese agencies fully comply with the common perception of the two countries' senior leaders by immediately halting trespassing activities and withdrawing the Huong Duong Hong (Xiang Yang Hong) 10 ship and other coast guard ships and fishing vessels out of Vietnamese territorial waters.

Over the two years of enforcement, the Law on the Vietnam Coast Guard has proved to be a “sharp tool” for implementing law at sea.

In addition to ensuring maritime safety in the surrounding territorial waters, lighthouses on islands of Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago in Truong Sa district of the south central province of Khanh Hoa, have also affirmed Vietnam's sovereignty over seas and islands.

VOV.VN - Foreign Ministry spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang has affirmed that China has violated Vietnam's sovereignty, while asking it to end the violation.
