Any patrol or military exercise by Taiwan around Ba Binh island is serious violation of Viet Nam’s sovereignty over the Truong Sa archipelago, threatens peace, stability, safety and security of navigation, causes tensions, and complicates the situation in the East Sea.

Viet Nam demands Taiwan end the above activities and not repeat them in the future, said Le.

She reiterated that Viet Nam has sufficient legal grounds and historical evidence to affirm its sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos in accordance with international law.
