She emphasized that these acts went against agreements made by the leaders of the two nations on the resolution of maritime disputes, as well as Vietnam's sovereignty, international law, and the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

The Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent a formal protest to the Chinese Embassy, demanding that China respect Vietnam's sovereignty, investigate the incident, and prevent similar incidents in the future.
