HANOI: As a neighbour of both Cambodia and Thailand and a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), Vietnam is deeply interested in and welcomes the signing of the peace pact between Cambodia and Thailand on Sunday, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pham Thu Hang (pic) said.
Responding to reporters’ questions on Sunday (Oct 26) regarding Vietnam’s reaction to the signing of the peace document on the sidelines of the 47th Asean Summit and related summits in Malaysia, Hang stated that this was an important and positive step, reflecting the two countries’ commitment to peace, cooperation, and development, in line with the Asean Charter and the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in South-East Asia (TAC).
"Vietnam highly values the efforts of countries, including Malaysia - the 2025 Asean Chair, and its Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, the US and President Donald Trump, and relevant sides in seeking a peaceful solution to the issue," she said.
"Vietnam believes that the peace document will serve as a foundation for reinforcing trust and working towards a long-term peaceful settlement," Hang said, adding that Vietnam would continue to actively engage in Asean’s collective efforts to support Cambodia and Thailand in the full and effective implementation of this document. - Vietnam News/ANN
