Mrs. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,
The Legacy of The Republic of Viet Nam (LRVN) declares its sovereignty over the exclusive
economic zone (EEZ) 200 nautical miles according to the UN Convention of the Law of the Sea
that continues from the continental shelf of Viet Nam stretching to the surrounding
Paracel archipelago waters.
As LRVN affirms in many official letters to the United Nations, The PRC will be responsible
for any incidents over the the LRVN claimed sovereignty in this sea route.
The LRVN requested that the PRC must be cautious in any naval activities that can cause any
connfrontation with any naval forces that operate the civil and unarmed surveys in our EEZ,
and warned the PRC of using its naval forces to do any risky actions that can tamper the peace
in the East Sea.
