Any act of using force or threatening to use force in international relations cannot create the title of sovereignty nor can it change the fact that sovereignty over the Hoang Sa archipelago belongs to Vietnam.

On January 20, in response to a reporter's question asking for Vietnam's stance on China's seizure of the Paracel Islands in 1974, Spokesperson of the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pham Thu Hang stated: Vietnam has sufficient legal basis and historical evidence to affirm Vietnam's sovereignty over the Paracel and Spratly Islands; in which, Vietnam's sovereignty over the Paracel Islands was established at least since the 17th century, in accordance with international law and has been exercised peacefully, continuously and publicly by successive Vietnamese states.

Any act of using force or threatening to use force in international relations, especially the use of force to resolve disputes over territorial sovereignty in relations between countries, is completely contrary to the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter and seriously violates international law. It cannot create a title of sovereignty, nor can it change the fact that sovereignty over the Hoang Sa archipelago belongs to Vietnam.
