So said Vietnamese Foreign Ministry’s Spokeswoman Pham Thu Hang on April 6 while answering journalists’ question on Vietnam’s reaction to the attack.
Vietnam calls on the sides concerned to practice restraint, refrain from the use of violence, settle differences by peaceful measures, avoid escalating tension in the region, and abide by international law, including the Vienna Convention 1961 on ensuring the life, security, and safety for the people, members of the representative offices and their families, the official stressed.
