Concerning Vietnam's reaction to the inaccurate representation of Vietnam - China land boundary on Google Maps, Vietnamese Foreign Ministry's Spokesperson Ms. Nguyen Phuong Nga on March 20th, 2010 responded to the media that:

"Google Maps misrepresents Vietnam - China land boundary on its map service. Vietnam asks that Google applies the present offical map of Vietnam to fix the errors.

The Governments of Vietnam and China signed the Protocol on demarcation of the land border, the Agreement on the land border management regime and the Agreement on land port and land port management regime on November 18th, 2009, the Vietnam - China land boundary is thus clearly delineated and represented by specific coordinations. The two sides are preparing for their ratification in accordance with the respective laws of Vietnam and China. As soon as Vietnam - China land border treaty, signed in 1999, and other related documents come into effect, they will be officially registered with the United Nations and released to the mapping and map publishing organizations worldwide."
