Pham made the point at the ministry's regular press briefing in Ha Noi on August 3 in response to reporters' questions about Viet Nam's response to the protest in front of the Vietnamese Embassy in Manila where a group of Filipinos tore the Vietnamese flag.
The red flag with a yellow star in the center is the sacred national flag of Viet Nam, the diplomat said.
She demanded that the Philippines handle the incident seriously, take effective measures to prevent similar acts which could affect the development of the strategic partnership between the two countries, stressed the spokesperson./.
