with the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), to
which Việt Nam and the countries bordering the East Sea are parties.”

areas must comply with the relevant regulations of the UNCLOS and Việt Nam’s
law,” she said, noting that without Việt Nam’s permission, all activities of
foreign countries in its waters violateinternational law.
"Việt Nam attaches utmost importance to peace, friendship,

its rights and legitimate interests, and to avoid taking action that complicate
the situation.
Vietnamese forces at sea had been exercising the nation's
jurisdiction in a peaceful manner in accordance with the law to defend the
country’s waters, Hằng said.
