Vietnam stands ready to join hands with the international community to contribute to the process, Son told Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Foreign Minister of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba during his separate phone talks with them on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.

He affirmed Vietnam’s consistent stance that international disputes and differences should be addressed by peaceful measures in line with basic principles of the UN Charter and international law, especially those on respecting independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries.

The FM suggested Russia and Ukraine continue to organize humanitarian corridors and take measures to ensure safety for civilians, including Vietnamese people in Ukraine, helping them to evacuate from battle zones.

The FMs of Russia and Ukraine expressed their wish to maintain and enhance cooperation with Vietnam, and pledged to try their best to facilitate the evacuation of Vietnamese citizens.
