The European Times News aims to cover news that matter to increase the awareness of citizens all around geographical Europe.

During the ministry’s regular press conference in Hanoi on May 13, Hang affirmed that Vietnam acknowledges the US Secretary of State’s International Religious Freedom Report 2020, which mentions the country’s efforts in ensuring and promoting religion and belief.

However, she said the report contains non-objective opinions based on incorrect information on the situation in Vietnam, adding that the nation’s efforts and achievements in ensuring citizens’ right to freedom of religion and belief have been widely welcomed by the international community.

It always stands ready to engage in straightforward and open discussions with the US in a constructive spirit on issues where the two sides still have differences, to increase mutual understanding and contribute to the development of the bilateral comprehensive partnership, the spokeswoman said.

Asked to comment on the recent escalating conflict in the Gaza Strip, Hang said Vietnam has kept a close watch and is deeply concerned about escalating violence in Israel and the Palestinian territories over recent days that have killed and injured civilians.

Vietnam called on all parties concerned to exercise restraint, end the escalation of tensions, and deal with the conflict via peaceful measures, thus ensuring the safety and legitimate interests of people.

Regarding the East Jerusalem issue, she affirmed Vietnam’s consistent stance that every solution needs to observe international law, especially relevant UN resolutions.
