In response to a journalist's question regarding Vietnam's stance on the current severe escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Spokesperson Pham Thu Hang said:

"Vietnam's stance was clearly stated on February 28, 2026.

Vietnam 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 on all parties involved to act with responsiblility, 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 favourable conditions for dialogue towards resolving differences through peaceful means for the sake of the people, and for the peace, stability, and development in the region and the world."
