Statement by the MOFA spokeswoman on the US military strikes
"Vietnam strongly condemns any terrorist acts and supports efforts to eliminate terrorism from the life of mankind. Vietnam is of the view that anti-terrorist measures must be taken in conformity with the UN Charter and international laws.
Vietnam expresses its deep concern over the war in Afghanistan, which poses serious threats to the lives of innocent civilians. We hope that the parties concerned will exercise maximum restraint, not to let the war spread out and expeditiously find appropriate solutions to early put an end to the war and restore peace".
