Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang made the statement during a regular press briefing of the ministry in Hanoi while responding to reporters’ questions regarding recent developments in the East Sea such as foreign countries’ live-fire drills and U.S. naval ships’ navigation freedom activities.
