VietNamNet Bridge – Vietnam has protested China’s recent
violations of its sovereignty and asked the neighbour to respect its
sovereignty.
On November 27, Hainan province
of China adopted the revised border security regulations for its coastal
regions, covering Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagoes.
Earlier on November 23, China
published a map of the so-called “Sansha” city that included the two
archipelagoes, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf of Vietnam.
On November 30 as Vietnam's ship
Binh Minh 02 was carrying out a seismic survey in the country’s exclusive
economic zone and continental shelf, two Chinese ships numbered 16025 and 16028
intentionally blocked and severed the cable of the Vietnamese ship despite
warning signals from Vietnam’s authorised forces.
Answering media questions on
Vietnam’s response to these actions in Hanoi on December 4, Foreign Ministry
Spokesman Luong Thanh Nghi stated that the actions seriously violated Vietnam’s
sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagoes as well as the country’s
sovereign right and jurisdiction over its waters.
They violated the basic
principles of the agreement that guides the settlement of sea-related issues
between Vietnam and China signed in October 2011, he said.
They also ran counter to the
spirit of the Declaration on Conduct of the Parties in the East Sea (DOC) and
the Declaration of the 15th ASEAN-China Summit on the 10th anniversary of DOC,
complicating the East Sea situation, the spokesman added.
On December 3, representatives
from the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry met with Chinese Embassy representatives
in Hanoi to deliver a diplomatic note resolutely protesting against China’s
actions. It asked China to respect Vietnam’s sovereignty and immediately
terminate the wrongful acts and not let such similar ones be repeated.
