Speaking at a press conference in Hanoi on Thursday, the foreign ministry’s spokesperson Pham Thu Hang expressed Vietnam’s deep concern over the escalating tensions at the Thailand-Cambodia border.

She urged both nations, as ASEAN members and close neighbors of Vietnam, to exercise maximum restraint, refrain from the use of force or any action that could escalate the situation, and resolve disputes peacefully and appropriately in accordance with international law, the UN Charter, the ASEAN Charter, and the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia, in the spirit of ASEAN unity and solidarity, for the long-term benefit of both countries and the region.
