Responding to reporters’ questions on April 23 regarding Viet Nam’s efforts to ensure fuel supply amid ongoing complexities in the Middle East, Hang noted that relevant agencies and fuel import-export enterprises have maintained close coordination with international partners to ensure the full and timely implementation of signed long-term supply contracts.

This is seen as a fundamental solution to stabilise supply and minimise the impact of unexpected fluctuations in the global energy market, she noted.

In parallel, Viet Nam is stepping up engagement with other partners to diversify fuel sources and reduce reliance on any single market.

Authorities are also closely monitoring regional and global developments to advise and propose appropriate response measures.

The spokesperson affirmed that with proactive and flexible management, alongside close coordination among ministries, sectors and businesses, Viet Nam is well-positioned to maintain stable fuel supplies, supporting socio-economic development and meeting public demand in all circumstances.
