He made the statement regarding a query on Vietnam’s reaction regarding the information that China is completing big military works on illegal man-made islands in Vietnam’s Truong Sa archipelago during the ministry’s regular press conference in Hanoi on March 30.
Vietnamese functional agencies are verifying that information, Binh said, reiterating that Vietnam has full legal foundation and historical evidence to affirm its sovereignty over Truong Sa and Hoang Sa archipelagoes.
