VOV.VN - The Vietnam Fisheries Society on May 4 voiced its strong opposition to China’s unilateral fishing ban in the East Sea, known internationally as South China Sea.

VOV.VN - Spokeswoman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang has affirmed that part of the scope of China’s fishing ban has violated Vietnam's sovereignty over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelago, and its sovereign rights and jurisdiction.

VOV.VN - The nation resolutely opposes and asks Taiwan to cancel its live-fire exercises in the waters around Ba Binh island belonging to Vietnam's Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago and not to repeat similar actions in the future.

VOV.VN - Central coastal localities have banned vessels from going offshore and sent signals to others still fishing out at sea to seek storm shelters to cope with the impending impact of super typhoon Rai.

VOV.VN - The nation has asked all concerned parties to comply with international law and the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in carrying out activities in the East Sea, whilst avoid taking actions which may complicate the situation.

VOV.VN - The nation requests China to respect its sovereignty over Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagoes, immediately stop and not to repeat similar violations.

VOV.VN - Northern coastal provinces are set to evacuate close to 800,000 people as tropical storm Conson has entered the East Sea to become the fifth typhoon set to hit the country this year.

Many ancient writings, recorded by foreigners themselves, directly or indirectly recognise Vietnam’s sovereignty over the two archipelagos of Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly). Among them is “Hai ngoai ky su” (Haiwai jishi) - an ancient Chinese book by a Chinese monk.
