Vietnam is a peace-loving country so it always support solving the problem humanely. It’s best not to cause bloodshed only because people will be suffering from war.
Speech by Ambassador Nguyen Trung Thanh is the aspirations of Vietnamese people.
I think the peoples of the world should cooperate closely to fight terrorism and racism for a peaceful world.
Vietnam has and will look forward to life as human beings, the hostile forces against Vietnam on human rights and democracy should recognize the social achievements of Vietnam.
These are guidelines and proper way of our Communist Party and State in religion, democrac , human rights for the people.
Vietnam has shown well its role as a member of the UN Human Rights Council.
Ethnic and religious conflicts in the world are the cause of clashes and terrorism. If there is democracy and human rights as well as religious freedom in every country, there will be no riots and terrorism.
Huy Lam's saying is very true so I believe that Vietnam is full of human rights and democracy, all citizens are satisfied with thier life of beliefs and religion.
UN Human Rights Council should have the accurate assessment of the human rights situation in every country. Do not let some countries unilaterally launch a human rights report .
You are right, Quan Hoang!
