"Vietnam protests against China's plan to invite international
bidding for oil block 65/12, about 3 nautical miles off Cay (Tree) Island of
Vietnam's Hoang Sa (Paracel) Archipelago", Foreign Ministry Spokesman
Luong Thanh Nghi said on Aug. 31.
Nghi was responding to media
inquiries over China National Offshore Oil Corporation's call on Aug. 28 for
international bidding for 26 oil and gas blocks, including the 65/12.
Nghi said the action "has
seriously violated Vietnam's sovereignty towards Hoang Sa, gone against common
perception of the two countries' high-level leaders and the Declaration on the
Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC) signed between ASEAN and China in
2002."
He also described the action as
"unlawful" and declared it null and void and said Vietnam requests
China to cancel it.
