Viet Nam resolutely opposes and demands Taiwan (China) to cancel its live-fire exercises in the waters around Ba Binh island that belongs to Viet Nam's Truong Sa (Spratly), Vietnamese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Le Thi Thu Hang stated on December 2.

Answering reporters’ query on Viet Nam’s response to the act Taiwan had announced earlier, Hang said Taiwan’s move seriously violates Viet Nam’s territorial sovereignty over Truong Sa; threatens peace, stability, safety and security of navigation; causes tensions; and complicates the situation in the East Sea.

The official added that Viet Nam demands Taiwan not to repeat the act in the future.
