The diplomat was replying to reporters’ queries regarding China’s demining campaign along the Vietnam-China border at a press briefing in Hanoi on December 10.
Vietnamese agencies have co-ordinated closely and asked the Chinese side to ensure the maximum safety of local residents and their property during the course of demining, Hang said.
The mine clearance operation aims to guarantee the safety of local residents and their property, she noted.
It will also facilitate production and promote co-operation in trade and tourism as well as people-to-people exchanges in the border area, she said.
