Scientific exploration and survey in Hoang Sa must have Vietnam's permission.
Responding to press questions about the information that the Sun Yat-sen University (China) research vessel will be sent to the East Sea, specifically Vietnam's Hoang Sa archipelago, in October 2021, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang stated: "As has been affirmed many times, Vietnam has full legal basis and historical evidence to affirm its sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos as well as its legitimate rights to Vietnam's maritime zones determined in accordance with the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea."
The Foreign Ministry Spokesperson emphasized: “All exploration, survey and scientific research activities in the Hoang Sa archipelago without Vietnam's permission are violations of Vietnam's sovereignty and related rights, illegal and worthless.”
Creating conditions to improve the status of women in the armed forces
Responding to questions about women's participation in the Vietnam Coast Guard, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang affirmed: The Party and State of Vietnam always strive to improve policies and laws to ensure gender equality and empower women, creating favorable conditions for women to have more opportunities to access and participate in all areas of social life, including enhancing the status and role of women in the armed forces. Vietnam's efforts in implementing gender equality have been recognized and highly appreciated by the international community.
Taking on many different positions and jobs, in recent times, the Vietnam Coast Guard's female force has always fulfilled their assigned tasks well, contributing to realizing the political commitments of the Party and State as a responsible member of the international community, ready to join hands to solve international issues, maintain a peaceful, secure and stable environment for cooperation and development in the region and the world.
