(VOVworld) – Representatives of the National Border Committee of Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry have rejected China’s plan to bring tourists to Hoang Sa archipelago. The officials said: “Vietnam has undisputed sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos. The fact that China plans to bring tourists to Hoang Sa is a serious violation of Vietnam’s sovereignty and runs counter to the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea. Vietnam demands that China give up that plan.”
Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry on Friday sent a diplomatic note to the Chinese embassy in Hanoi to reject that plan.
Concerning the information that Taiwan, China plans to upgrade the piers on Ba Binh island of Vietnam’s Truong Sa archipelago, officials of the National Border Committee said: “Taiwan’s construction plan on Truong Sa archipelago is a serious violation of Vietnam’s sovereignty over the archipelago.
