vietnam resolutely opposes taiwan chinas live fire drill on ba binh island

Responding to reporters’ question about Vietnam’s reaction to Taiwan’s live-fire exercise on Ba Binh island at a press briefing on March 22, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang said Vietnam has sufficient legal foundation and historical evidence testifying to its sovereignty over Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa archipelagos.

“Taiwan’s live-fire drills in the sea area surrounding Ba Binh Island of Vietnam’s Truong Sa archipelago have for many times seriously violated Vietnam’s territorial sovereignty over the two archipelagoes, threatened peace, stability, safety, and security of navigation, caused tensions and complicated the situation in the East Sea,” Hang emphasized.

Once again, Vietnam resolutely objects and requests Taiwan not to repeat similar actions, the spokesperson noted.
