Vietnam supports Palestine’s just struggle for independence and freedom

Cuong reaffirmed Vietnam’s steadfast position in supporting the peaceful resolution of the Palestinian issue based on respect for international law and relevant UN resolutions. He emphasized the importance of safeguarding the legitimate interests of all parties involved, particularly the inalienable national rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to establish an independent, sovereign Palestinian state, living peacefully and securely alongside the Israeli state.

The state and people of Vietnam strongly support the just struggle for the independence and freedom of the Palestinian people and are ready to participate in international efforts to promote dialogue, reconciliation, and humanitarian assistance to those affected by the conflict, contributing to ensuring peace, security, and stability in the region and globally, said the president.

On November 26, the Permanent Mission of Vietnam to the United Nations participated in the celebration of International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. The event was attended by key figures including the President of the United Nations General Assembly, Philemon Yang, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed, Ambassadors from various countries, as well as representatives from the UN Security Council Presidency, the African Union, the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Non-Aligned Movement, and the Permanent Observer of the State of Palestine, along with many other UN member state representatives.

During the ceremony, the head of the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP), along with UN leaders and representatives of various country groups, emphasized that, given the complex developments in the Middle East and the continuing denial of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, the international community must unite and act to implement the solution proposed by the UN General Assembly nearly eight decades ago that ensures the peaceful coexistence of two states, Israel and Palestine, in security and peace.

The speakers expressed deep concern about the escalating tensions, prolonged conflicts, and worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, as well as other hotspots, which increase the risk of a regional war. They called for all concerned parties to work towards achieving a ceasefire agreement, the release of hostages, and the resumption of peace negotiations between Israel and Palestine.
