The map of Vietnam displayed was incorrect, omitting the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos, as well as Phu Quoc Island, which are under Vietnam's sovereignty .

On the afternoon of December 11th, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' regular press conference, Spokesperson Pham Thu Han answered reporters' questions regarding information from the opening ceremony of the 33rd SEA Games held on the evening of December 9th.
