From 2012 to 2024, Vietnam's maritime policy has developed in depth in terms of protecting sovereignty, sovereign rights, jurisdiction, and developing the marine economy, especially the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, now the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, issued Circular No. 33/2024, dated December 15, 2024, on promulgating the List of place names of islands, rocks, shoals, reefs and some geographical objects in Vietnam's seas. It can be seen that this is a continuation of Vietnam's maritime policy, which was systematically and uniformly planned from the 2012 Law on the Sea of ​​Vietnam, the 2018 Law on Surveying and Mapping, and the 2018 Law on the Vietnam Coast Guard.
