Replying to a reporter’s question about the result of the Saturday election in Taiwan (China), Ms. Hang said, in line with the “One China” policy, Vietnam maintains and develops people-to-people and non-governmental relations with Taiwan in economy, trade, investment, science, technology, culture, and education, and does not have any state-level relations with Taiwan.

Vietnam respects the principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of other countries, and considers peace, stability, and cooperation in the Taiwan Strait important to the region and the world, she said.
