Stand for peaceful solution to Iraq crisis reconfirmed
(Nhan Dan, March 10, 2003)
Vietnam reiterated on March 10 its stance for a political solution to the Iraq issue in line with the United Nations' Charter.
Spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry Phan Thuy Thanh said UN weapons inspectors' March 7 report submitted to the UN Security Council has made it clear that their mission in Iraq has been making encouraging progress. She said that the report has recognised Iraq's increasingly active co-operation with UN weapons inspectors.
"Co-operation between the relevant parties for a peaceful solution to the current crisis should be encouraged and promoted," said the spokeswoman.
"Vietnam stands firmly for a political solution to the Iraq crisis in line with the UN Charter and international law to meet the aspirations of the world's peace-loving people," Ms Thanh said in conclusion.
