The Deputy Spokesman made the point in response to a reporter's question about Viet Nam's stance on the continuous military exercises in the East Sea by some countries in recent times.
He said that the East Sea is one of the most important waters in the region.
Viet Nam, said the Deputy Spokesman, requests that activities of the relevant parties and countries comply with international law, especially the 1982 UNCLOS, and also positively contribute to fulfilling the above goals./.
