Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam adamantly opposes theChinese Navy’s commemoration of the so-called 70 years of the recovery of two archipelagoesin the East Sea, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Le Hai Binh said on December 12.

He made the statement while answering reporters’question about Vietnam’s response to the Chinese Navy’smarking of the so-called 70 years of recovering Hoang Sa (Paracel) and TruongSa (Spratly) Islands on December 8.

“Vietnam has sufficient historical evidence andlegal foundation to affirm its sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagoes– Vietnam’s long-standing territories. After the World War II, theinternational community rejected China’s claim on these islands.

“China’s above-mentioned activity is unable toalter Vietnam’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa, runs counter to thecurrent development trend of the two countries’ relations, and complicates thesituation. Vietnam resolutely opposes that activity,” Binh emphasised.-VNA
