Vietnam resolutely opposes and demands Taiwan (China) to cancel its live-fire exercises in the waters around Ba Binh island that belongs to Vietnam's Truong Sa (Spratly), Vietnamese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Le Thi Thu Hang stated on December 2.

A ceremony was held in the central city of Da Nang on March 12 to commemorate 64 naval officers and soldiers who bravely sacrificed their lives 35 years ago while defending the Gac Ma (Johnson South) Reef in Vietnam's Truong Sa (Spratly) on March 14, 1988.
This day exactly 35 years ago, 64 soldiers of the Vietnam People’s Navy laid down their lives defending national sovereignty in Truong Sa. Thirty-five years have elapsed, and waves could have swept away all the traces, but they have surely failed to erase in the mind of the Vietnamese people the image of the brave men whose sacrifice has erected a monument of immortality with their patriotism.
This is the first time since the adoption of the Convention that a country has served two consecutive terms on the Committee.
