Once again, Hang re-affirmed that Vietnam has sufficient historical evidence and legal foundations proving its sovereignty over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos in accordance with international law.
She reiterated Vietnam’s consistent stance of settling all disputes, including those relating to sovereignty over the two archipelagos, through peaceful means in accordance with international law and the United Nations Charter.
Vietnam asks China to work together to contribute to advancing the bilateral ties and maintaining peace, security and stability in the region, Hang said.
