Spokeswoman of the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pham Thu Hang
Pham made the point in response to reporters' inquiries on Viet Nam's response to the U.S. announcement of additional tariffs on goods from countries providing oil for Cuba.
The measure will cause serious impacts on Cuba's economic and social activities as well as the lives of its people, Pham said.
She affirmed Viet Nam's support for the resolutions adopted by the UN General Assembly over many years calling on the US to immediately end its unilateral blockade and embargo against Cuba and to take steps towards dialogue and improved relations with Cuba.
"Once again, Viet Nam strongly affirms its solidarity and traditional friendship with the brotherly Cuban people," the diplomat stressed./.
