Stressing that these crises are inflicting immense suffering on civilians, disrupting global trade and energy supplies, and eroding trust in multilateral mechanisms, Minister Counsellor Nguyen Hai Luu stressed that there can be no military solution to the challenges facing the Middle East.

Viet Nam called on all parties to exercise maximum restraint, refrain from actions that could escalate tensions, and avoid the threat or use of force. Disputes must be resolved through peaceful means based on international law and the UN Charter.
