越南敦促國際法庭判決南海案件

HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnam has called for aninternational tribunal in The Hague to deliver a "fair and objective"ruling in an arbitration case lodged by the Philippines that challenges China'sexpansive claims in the South China Sea.

河內（路透社）——越南呼籲海牙國際還挺以“公正和客觀“的態度判決菲律賓就南海爭議向中國發起的裁決案。

In a carefully worded statement two daysafter the court announced July 12 as the verdict date, Vietnam's foreignministry said it hoped the ruling would provide a basis for peacefullyresolving rows.

在法庭宣佈7月12號將公佈結果的兩天後，越南外交部措辭嚴謹稱希望這個判決可以爲和平的解決爭議提供基礎。

Vietnam is not a direct party to the casebut stands to gain if the verdict favors Manila. Like the Philippines, it isalso at odds with China, although it is wary not to push too far against amajor trade partner.

越南並沒有直接參與這個案件，但是如果裁決結果有利於菲律賓的話，那麼對越南也有好處。越南也與中國存在海洋爭議，儘管不想和自己的主要貿易伙伴產生太過緊張的關係。

"Vietnam has always been observing thedevelopment of the case and wants the arbitration court to deliver a fair andobjective decision, creating a basis to peacefully resolve disputes in the(South China Sea)," Vietnam's foreign ministry spokesman, Le Hai Binh,said in a statement late on Friday.

“越南一直都在關注這個案件的發展，我們希望法庭可以做出公正客觀的判決，爲南海爭議的和平解決提供一個基礎，”越南外交部發言人週五如是說。
