On October 2, 2024, regarding the suppression, injury, and confiscation of property of Vietnamese fishermen on fishing vessel QNg 95739 TS ( Quang Ngai province) by Chinese law enforcement forces while operating in the Hoang Sa archipelago of Vietnam on September 29, 2024, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam Pham Thu Hang emphasized:
The above actions of Chinese law enforcement forces have seriously violated Vietnam's sovereignty over the Hoang Sa archipelago, violated international law, the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and gone against the common perception of the two countries' senior leaders on better control and management of disputes at sea.
“Vietnam is extremely concerned, indignant and resolutely protests the brutal treatment of Chinese law enforcement forces against Vietnamese fishermen and fishing vessels operating in Vietnam’s Hoang Sa archipelago, causing injuries, threatening the lives and causing property damage to Vietnamese fishermen,” Ms. Pham Thu Hang emphasized.
The Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has had stern dealings with the Embassy.
China in Hanoi strongly protests the above-mentioned actions of Chinese law enforcement forces, demands that China fully respect Vietnam's sovereignty over the Hoang Sa archipelago, promptly investigate and notify the results to the Vietnamese side, and not repeat similar actions.
