opposes Taiwan (China)’s live-fire drills around Ba Binh (Itu Aba) island in
Vietnam’s Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago and demands that it refrain from such
actions in the future.

Taiwan’s continuation of live-fire drills in the waters around Ba Binh island in Vietnam’s Truong Sa archipelago despite Vietnam’s opposition is a serious violation of Vietnam’s territorial sovereignty over the archipelago, posing a threat to peace, stability, maritime security and safety, as well as causing tension and complicating the situation in the East Sea, she stressed.-VNA
