The viewpoint of our Party and State has affirmed: Sovereignty over seas, islands and territorial integrity are sacred. Vietnam's consistent policy is to resolve disputes related to the East Sea through peaceful measures and strong support from the international community.
To resolve the issue of sovereignty disputes in the East Sea, we need to thoroughly grasp the five viewpoints of our Party and State, which are: Building and implementing a comprehensive, focused and key marine economic development strategy, soon turning our country into a strong regional country in marine economy, associated with ensuring national defense - security and international cooperation; building a strong force for managing and protecting the sea and islands in all aspects; resolutely and persistently resolving disputes at sea and islands by peaceful means on the basis of international law; performing well in defense diplomacy; promoting propaganda work on the sacred sovereignty of the sea and islands of the Fatherland.
