Czech people support Vietnam’s sovereignty
(VOVworld) - The Czech-Vietnam Association (CVA) and Czech people strongly condemn China’s illegal placement of an oil rig in Vietnamese waters and always support Vietnam’s sovereignty rights. Vice President Milos Kusy delivered the Association’s statement opposing China’s illegal actions to President of the Ho Chi Minh City Union of Friendship Organizations Le Hung Quoc on Monday. The statement said China’s act brazenly violated Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and infringed international law and the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) to which China is a signatory. China’s actions negatively impact the traditional friendship and cooperation between the two countries as well as freedom of navigation in the East Sea.
