Consul General in India of People's Republic of China, Niu Qingbao on Saturday (September 24) said that its dispute in South China Sea with Vietnam was a bilateral affair.
Niu hoped that "countries outside the region" would support efforts made by the two countries to resolve the row.
"China has undisputed sovereignty on that piece of the region of the sea area, so there is dispute there. China says that we have undisputed claim on this or Vietnam says that it enjoys some ownership, so this is a dispute between China and Vietnam. I hope that countries outside the region will support whatever efforts are made by the two countries to solve their bilateral dispute," said Niu, while interacting with the media persons on the sidelines of an event held in India's northern Varanasi city.
A joint energy project between India and Vietnam in the South China Sea infringes on China's territorial sovereignty, an official Chinese newspaper said on Thursday (September 22).
