HÀ NỘI – Việt Nam persists with the "One China" policy, recognising Taiwan as an inseparable part of China's territory, said spokeswoman of the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Phạm Thu Hằng.

Responding to a reporter's query about Việt Nam's "One China" policy, Hằng said Việt Nam has maintained and developed people-to-people and non-governmental relations with Taiwan in various fields such as economy, trade, investment, sci-tech, culture and education; and has not established any state-level relationship with Taiwan.

Việt Nam respects the principle of non-interference in each other's internal affairs and believes that maintaining peace, stability and cooperation in the Taiwan Strait is crucial for the region and the world, she added. – VNS
