The delegates attending the discussion revolved around three basic issues: Affirming China's wrongful and dangerous actions that disregard international ethics and law against Vietnam's sovereignty over its seas and islands; the consequences of China's wrongful actions in economic, political, cultural and diplomatic aspects; ideological orientations for each Vietnamese citizen, especially the young generation, to express their patriotism in accordance with the law, to arouse and promote the power of patriotism and to attract the support of the international community for the just struggle of our people.

Experts exchanged and debated openly and frankly, consistent with the Prime Minister's viewpoint that "Vietnam absolutely does not accept trading sovereignty and territorial integrity for an illusory, dependent peace and friendship" because territorial sovereignty and sovereignty over seas and islands are sacred and inviolable.
