Viet Nam welcomes Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire agreement

She went on to say that Viet Nam calls on all parties involved to immediately implement the agreement towards long-term and sustainable peace in the region, ensuring security, safety, and well-being of the people.

Viet Nam backs all efforts to achieve ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip and end conflicts, contributing to creating a peaceful and stable environment in the Middle East.

The deal that took effect early Wednesday morning – raising hopes of a lasting respite after a 13-month border conflict that spiraled into an all-out war in September.  

The deal stipulates a 60-day cessation of hostilities, which negotiators have described as the foundation of a lasting truce. During that time, Hezbollah fighters are expected to retreat some 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Israel-Lebanon border, while Israeli ground forces withdraw from Lebanese territory.

Under the agreement, Lebanon would implement a more rigorous supervision of Hezbollah’s movements south of the country’s Litani river, to prevent militants from regrouping there. United Nations peacekeeping troops, the Lebanese military and a multinational committee will be tasked with supervising the Iran-backed group’s movements.

Israel vowed to resume military operations in case of a breach of the agreement./.
