<B>Vietnam strongly opposed terrorist acts</B>

Ha Noi, Oct. 11 (VNA) -- "Viet Nam strongly opposes terrorist acts and supports efforts to make humankind free from terrorism," said the spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry in Ha Noi on Oct. 11.

The spokesperson was answering a question raised by Viet Nam News Agency correspondent on the country's position toward terrorist acts against Viet Nam as other countries are taking cooperative measures against terrorism.

Viet Nam holds that anti-terrorist measures should be conducted in conformity with the United Nations Charter and international law, the spokesperson said.

In this spirit, Viet Nam believes that all countries should have a unanimous attitude toward terrorism by not supporting, harbouring and concealing terrorists or those with terrorist schemes against Viet Nam. They should cooperate with Viet Nam in preventing and severely punishing those who mastermind or carry out terrorist schemes against the State and people of Viet Nam inside the country and at Vietnamese representative offices abroad, the spokesperson said.--VNA
