“Vietnam has sufficient historical evidence and legal basis to affirm its sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos.
Taiwan's organization of a maritime exercise called "Southern Institute No. 1" in the Ba Binh area of Vietnam's Truong Sa archipelago is a serious violation of Vietnam's territorial sovereignty over the archipelago, threatening peace, stability, security, and maritime safety, causing tension and complicating the situation in the East Sea.
Vietnam resolutely protests and requests that Taiwan not repeat similar actions."
