Asked about Vietnam's reaction to Taiwan's announcement of its live-fire drills, Hang said Vietnam has repeatedly affirmed that the exercises seriously violate the country’s territorial sovereignty over Truong Sa, threaten peace, stability, safety and security of navigation, and complicate the situation in the East Sea.
