The Southeast Asian Games map incident has drawn attention; Vietnam pointed out that Thailand omitted the Paracel and Spratly Islands.

Southeast Asian Games: Vietnam responds to Thailand's omission of the Paracel Islands and Spratly Islands on the map as the host country!!!

On the evening of December 9, Vietnamese media pointed out that the map of Vietnam displayed at the opening ceremony by the host country Thailand omitted the Paracel Islands, Spratly Islands, and Phu Quoc Island.

Vietnamese mainstream newspapers published this map and drew a diagonal line on it, calling it a "very serious mistake".

Island sovereignty is a very sensitive issue in Vietnam. The Vietnamese authorities stipulate that all maps circulating within Vietnam must mark the Hoang Sa Islands (Paracel Islands) and the Truong Sa Islands (Spratly Islands).

In addition to the Spratly Islands, the Paracel Islands are also claimed by Vietnam, but in fact, they are China's inherent territory and are under China's actual control! Other ASEAN countries have not raised any objections to the sovereignty of the Paracel Islands!!
