The spokesperson made the statement on October 29 in response to reporters’ queries on Viet Nam’s reaction to U.S. ships’ recent voyage near a number of geological structures of the Truong Sa (Spratly) islands of Viet Nam.
As a sovereign state over the Hoang Sa (Paracels) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos in the East Sea and a member of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), Viet Nam has continuously respected the freedom of navigation and aviation in the East Sea on basis of the relevant provisions of the Convention and in accordance with the regulations of the coastal states, he affirmed.
Viet Nam calls on relevant parties to make active contribution to the maintenance of peace, stability, security and safety of navigation and aviation in the East Sea on the basis of international law, including the UNCLOS and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea, the spokesman said./.
