vietnam opposes chinas holding of election on tam sa island

Vietnam has sufficient legal and historical evidence proving its sovereignty over Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos. China’s holding of the election for the Municipal Congress of the so-called Sansha city which was illegally set up by China and conducting illegal patrols in the waters off the Paracels seriously violates the country's sovereignty.

These illegal acts cannot change the reality of Vietnam’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos, Binh said.

"Vietnam resolutely opposes and demands China respect its sovereignty, immediately halt its wrongful actions and seriously abide by the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the east Sea (DOC) and the Agreement on fundamental principles guiding the settlement of sea-related issues between Vietnam and China," he added.
