The PM Dung said China’s illegal placement of its oil rig Haiyang Shiyou-981 in Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf since early May has had certain impacts on the country’s socio-economic development, negatively affecting Vietnam-China relations and threatening peace, stability and security in the region.
However, with efforts made by the entire Party, army and people, the first-half socio-economic situation continued to see positive changes in all aspects.
In addition, Vietnam has stayed firm and patient in protecting the sea sovereignty through diplomatic and communication channels as well as suitable measures at the site, he added.
PM Dung stated that measures taken by Vietnam have won support from the whole nation as well as from the international community.
Countries around the world have raised their voices to back Vietnam ’s just struggle and condemned China ’s wrongful acts and violations of international law, he said, adding that no country has so far supported China ’s deeds in the East Sea .
The Party and State are urgently preparing a legal dossier, ready to bring the case of China’s violations of international law in Vietnam’s waters to international jurisdiction agencies, he said.
The country will continue implementing measures to ensure normal relations in all fields and promoting economic, trade and investment cooperation with China for the interests of both sides while considering options to deal with possible disadvantageous situations in the economic ties with the neighbouring country, he added.
Regarding socio-economic developments tasks for the second half of the year, PM Dung affirmed the Government’s strong determination to successfully implement the set objectives and tasks.
