The Vietnamese representative urged all parties to immediately end hostilities and promote comprehensive dialogue, paving the way for a sustainable ceasefire.
Escalating hostilities threaten to worsen the humanitarian situation in Ethiopia, where millions of people need urgent assistance, 400,000 of who are living in famine-like conditions, the Vietnamese diplomat stated, calling for the full observance of the international humanitarian law, creation of favorable conditions for humanitarian access, restoration of public services, and enforcement of measures to protect civilians, infrastructure and aid workers.
Quy voiced support for the role of the African Union High Representative for the Horn of Africa, and the timely and constructive efforts made by the international community, neighboring countries and regional organizations to assist Ethiopia in dealing with hardships.
