Responding to a reporter’s query about Vietnam’s “One China” policy, Ms. Hang said Vietnam has maintained and developed people-to-people and non-governmental relations with Taiwan in various fields such as economics, trade, investment, sci-tech, culture and education. It has not established any state-level relationship with Taiwan, she noted.

Vietnam respects the principle of non-interference in each other’s internal affairs and believes that maintaining peace, stability and cooperation in the Taiwan Strait is crucial for the region and the world, Ms. Hang said.
