On February 19th2016, representatives of the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry met with representatives of the Chinese Embassy in Ha Noi to hand over a diplomatic note of objection to China's actions violating Viet Nam's sovereignty over the Paracel Archipelago.
On the same day, the Permanent Mission of Viet Nam to the United Nations also sent a diplomatic note to the United Nations Secretary-General, requesting the diplomatic note to the China’s Embassy in Ha Noi to be officially circulated”./.
