Vietnam
vehemently condemns the wave of deadly attacks on civilians in Paris on Friday night that left at least 120
people dead, the foreign ministry spokesman has said.
“We share the great losses that the French government,
people and families of the victims are suffering,” Spokesman Le Hai Binh said
this monrning.
“We believe … that the culprits will be punished justly,” he
said.
According to him, the Vietnamese embassy in France has been
ordered to liaise with relevant French agencies to “learn about the situation
of Vietnamese people at the sites of the attacks.”
In case there are Vietnamese victims, the Embassy must
coordinate with French authorised agencies to provide support for and protect
the citizens, Binh added.
The embassy has cited the French foreign ministry’s crisis
centre as saying that details about the victims’ nationalities were not
available yet.
It said it will promptly take measures in case there is any
victim confirmed as Vietnamese national.
The embassy has also set up two hotlines for receiving
information about possible Vietnamese victims: 00.33.67.7622624 and
00.33.66.3541759.
Related information can also be notified via another two
hotlines of the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry’s Consular Department:
084.4.62844844 and +84981848484.
