Vietnam opposed to the use of force against sovereign nations, said spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday while responding to reporters’ questions regarding severe tensions in the Middle East.
Spokeswoman Pham Thu Hang noted that Vietnam’s stance was clearly stated on Feb. 28, saying the country opposes the use of force against sovereign nations, particularly attacks on civilian infrastructure that result in loss of life. Such actions have caused serious damage and continue to threaten the lives, safety, and interests of civilians, including Vietnamese citizens, in the region while destabilizing economic activities and undermining peace and stability both regionally and globally.
“Vietnam calls upon all parties involved to act with responsibility, strictly adhere to international law, the United Nations Charter and relevant United Nations resolutions, respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of nations, resume negotiations, and create favorable conditions for dialogue towards resolving all differences through peaceful means, for the sake of the people and for the peace, stability, and development of the region and the world,” Hang remarked. Vietnamese diplomatic missions in the Gulf states have reported no casualties or property damage to Vietnamese citizens as a result of the conflict in the region. Read more at:
