Answering reporters’ questions at the Foreign Ministry’s regular press conference in Hanoi on October 11 on Vietnam ’s response to the Chi🐓nese side’s recent acts, Spokesman Luong Thanh Nghi further said they violated Vietnam ’s sovereignty over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos.
Following a series of illegal activities of building and developing the so-called “Sansha city”, China on October 1 held a fl𝄹ag raising ceremony to mark its National Day on Phu Lam island in the Hoang Sa archipelago.
On October 3, the Cꦓhinese navy’s Nanhai Fleet held an exercise in the waters of the Hoang Sa archipelago and fiv👍e days later, China set up a meteorological station of the so-called Sansha city.
Earlier, on September 23, the Chinese press reported that China will deploy unmanned aircraft to strengthen the surveillance of the waters, including the Hoa𝓀ng Sa an��d Truong Sa archipelagos.
The Chinese side’s above-said actions seriously violated Vietnam’s sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos, international law and the agreement on basic principles guiding the settlement of sea-related issues between Vi🦂etnam and China signed in October 2011,꧂ Nghi stressed.

These acts are totally void, the spokesman affirmed.
