During a meeting with UN Special Envoy on Myanmar Julie Bishop in Davos, Switzerland, the Prime M reaffirmed Vietnam's consistent stance of respecting Myanmar's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
Vietnam opposed embargo measures that negatively impact the lives of the Myanmar people and the Myanmar issue must be resolved by the Myanmar people themselves, through agreement, compromise, and the involvement of all relevant parties, he noted.
With its role, reputation, and relations, Vietnam is ready to exert all efforts to bring peace and stability to Southeast Asia and Myanmar in particular, Chinh said, adding that it is prepared to cooperate with the UN towards this goal, including offering a venue for all concerned parties to meet and discuss solutions to the Myanmar issue.
He spoke of the efforts of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and Vietnam in promoting the grouping's central role in hastening and coordinating with all parties involved to seek a peaceful solution for Myanmar.
Agreeing with Prime Minister Chinh’s proposals, Bishop stressed the need to prioritise urging all parties in Myanmar to exercise restraint, cease violence, ensure security and safety for civilians, and resume dialogue with the participation of all relevant sides to find a peaceful solution to the Myanmar issue. She affirmed her commitment to closely cooperate with ASEAN and promote dialogue among all parties for a peaceful resolution.
