The Mexican Institute for Friendship and Cooperation with Vietnam (IACMV) and Poland’s Saint Stanislaw Brotherhood have voiced their support for the recent ruling of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague on the Philippines’s lawsuit against China’s claims in the East (South China) Sea.
In its statement sent to the Vietnamese Embassy in Mexico, the IACMV highlighted the historical significance of the judgment, saying that it contributes to peacefully settling disputes in the East Sea.
The IACMV called on the Chinese government to respect the verdict, adding that if any country does not abide by international law and acts unilaterally, it will create chaotic conditions and threaten the peace and sovereignty of countries in the region.
The IACMV reaffirmed its strong support for Vietnam’s efforts to safeguard the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Meanwhile, Ryszard Murat, head of the Saint Stanislaw Brotherhood, said the association applauds the PCA’s judgment at a ceremony to announce the association’s letter to Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations (VUFO) held in Warsaw on July 23.
