On the afternoon of February 13, during the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, spokesperson Phạm Thu Hằng made important statements regarding Vietnam’s role in promoting peace and resolving international conflicts. Specifically, when asked about the possibility of Vietnam providing a venue for negotiations to end the conflict in Ukraine, Ms. Phạm Thu Hằng affirmed that Vietnam always supports international mediation efforts to seek long-term solutions in accordance with international law and the United Nations Charter.
Vietnam ready to contribute to international peace efforts
Vietnam’s Role in International Mediation
Amid ongoing global conflicts, Vietnam is not only expressing its stance but is also prepared to take concrete actions. Spokesperson Phạm Thu Hằng emphasized: “We are ready to join international efforts to promote dialogue and seek peaceful solutions to help end the current conflict as soon as possible.” This is a clear message reflecting Vietnam’s responsibility as an active member of the international community.
Notably, in January, Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính met with Ukrainian President Zelensky on the sidelines of the 55th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Switzerland. During their meeting, the two leaders reaffirmed the importance of the traditional friendly cooperative relationship between Vietnam and Ukraine. Both sides agreed to maintain and promote bilateral cooperation, including high-level exchanges and the resumption of trade activities.
Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính also stressed Vietnam’s balanced, objective, and consistent stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Accordingly, all disputes must be resolved peacefully, respecting the independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of nations while adhering to the principle of non-use or threat of force.
Lessons from the Past
Vietnam’s willingness to provide a venue for peace negotiations is not unprecedented. Previously, Vietnam successfully hosted the second U.S.-North Korea Summit in 2019. This event marked a significant step forward in international relations and affirmed Vietnam’s organizational capabilities and global standing.
Based on past experiences, Vietnam is fully capable of ensuring security, infrastructure, and creating a conducive environment for complex negotiations. This strengthens international trust in Vietnam’s role as a mediator.
Commitment to Global Peace
Beyond words, Vietnam has been implementing practical measures to contribute to regional and global peace and stability. Promoting economic, cultural, and educational cooperation with other nations is clear evidence of this commitment. Particularly, amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, Vietnam continues to call on all parties involved to engage in dialogue and seek sustainable solutions.
Additionally, Vietnam encourages other nations to work together toward building a more peaceful, equitable, and prosperous world order. This is not only a responsibility but also a long-term strategic goal for the country.
Conclusion
Vietnam consistently demonstrates a clear and responsible stance in addressing international issues. With a spirit of peace and cooperation, Vietnam is ready to actively contribute to conflict resolution efforts, particularly through mediation roles and providing venues for negotiations. This presents an opportunity for Vietnam to further affirm its global standing and contribute to building a more peaceful and stable world.
