  2. “States shall fully uphold their legal obligations under the Convention, respect the rights, interests and legitimate economic activities of relevant States, settle disputes through peaceful means in line with international law, respect diplomatic and legal processes and ensure the freedom, safety and security of navigation and overflight, without resorting to acts that would complicate the situation or create tension. It is my strong belief and fervent hope that the Security Council will uphold its primary role and responsibility in maintaining international peace and security and continue to make important and concrete contributions to enhancing maritime security.”

  3. “Viet Nam is determined to work with ASEAN and China to seriously, fully and effectively implement the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea of 2002 and to negotiate an effective and substantive code of conduct of parties in the South China Sea that is consistent with international law, in particular the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. In addition, Viet Nam calls upon all countries and multilateral institutions, especially United Nations agencies, to step up assistance and pay due attention to the hardships and interests of developing countries. Third, the policies, regulations and conduct of States at sea must be in line with international law, especially the Charter of the United Nations and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.”

  4. “Viet Nam proposes the development of a network of arrangements and initiatives for regional maritime security, with the United Nations working as the coordinator, to bolster information- and experience-sharing, coordinate actions and address common challenges in a timely manner. Viet Nam values and actively takes part in initiatives and mechanisms in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and between ASEAN and its partners for practical cooperation in the South China Sea. They provide forums for dialogue and confidence-building and help to coordinate maritime security cooperation efforts.”

  5. “Such awareness shall form the basis for greater responsibility and political will to strengthen confidence and develop more cohesive and effective cooperation arrangements in order to preserve and utilize oceans and seas in a sustainable manner and to safeguard a peaceful and stable maritime environment. Resources should be made available for the implementation of national strategies and regulations to meet this end. Second, maritime security is a global issue and therefore requires global solutions. We need to take a comprehensive approach based on cooperation, dialogue and international law and to forge stronger cooperation through bilateral and multilateral channels and at the regional, interregional and global levels to effectively address maritime security challenges.”

  6. “Viet Nam stands ready to cooperate, exchange information and share experiences with other countries in efforts to address maritime security issues and to contribute positively to the maintenance of a peaceful and secured maritime environment and to sustainable development in the region and the world. In that connection, I would like to make the following proposals. First, it is imperative that States and international organizations develop a comprehensive, extensive and profound awareness of the importance of oceans and seas and of the threats to maritime security.”

  7. “Viet Nam is implementing a strategy for the sustainable development of the marine economy, which aims to utilize marine resources in a sustainable and responsible manner to contribute to the country’s overall development. The strategy also aims to enhance Viet Nam’s law enforcement capacity, ensuring the effective settlement of maritime issues and safeguarding the sovereignty, sovereign rights, jurisdiction and other legitimate interests of Viet Nam over its maritime zones. Viet Nam persistently pursues a foreign policy of peace, independence, self- reliance, multilateralization and diversification of international relations, as a trusted friend and partner and a reliable member of the international community.”

  8. “Climate change, sea level rise and the pollution of the marine environment, especially by plastic debris and the degradation of the marine ecosystem, have caused serious and long-term consequences. Violations of international law, and even threats or uses of force, have escalated tensions and affected peace, friendship, security, safety and the freedom of navigation and trade, as well as efforts to address non-traditional security challenges. Therefore, preserving and enhancing maritime security is in the common interest and has become an urgent task and shared responsibility of the entire international community. As a littoral State, Viet Nam comprehends profoundly the immense value of the sea as well as the challenges to maritime security.”

  9. “Recognizing the importance of oceans and seas, nations have created important cooperation mechanisms, both bilateral and multilateral, at the regional and global levels. Most remarkably, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982 has truly become the constitution of oceans and seas, the universal and unified legal framework within which all activities in the oceans and seas must be carried out and the basis for international cooperation to address common challenges. Nevertheless, at sea, we are faced with both traditional and non-traditional security challenges. Terrorism and criminal acts, especially organized crime, have been expanding in scope and complexity.”

  10. “Thank you very much for taking the initiative and hosting the first-ever Security Council open debate on enhancing maritime security. Even when the world is devoting much resource to the fight against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the topic of our discussion is of strategic and practical significance. Viet Nam especially commends and echoes India’s five-S approach at the Security Council. Viet Nam is committed to working with India and other Council members in promoting dialogue, cooperation and mutual respect for global peace and prosperity. Oceans and seas provide an immense resource for humankind. They also serve as the lifeline of international trade and as the gateway connecting countries and continents.”
