More than 12,000 Vietnamese nationals are currently living, studying and working in the Middle East, she said, adding that there have been no reports of citizens affected by the ongoing conflict there.
In response to the current developments, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has coordinated closely with relevant agencies and Vietnamese representative missions in Iran, Israel and neighbouring countries to monitor the situation and maintain regular contact with Vietnamese communities in the host countries.
The diplomatic missions have also worked with local authorities to support Vietnamese citizens, including tourists in transit and delegations whose flights were cancelled due to airspace closures.
The ministry has advised citizens to ensure their safety, provided emergency contact channels and actively implemented citizen protection measures, while preparing evacuation plans if necessary, Hang said.
In case of emergencies or difficulties, Vietnamese citizens are advised to contact the 24/7 citizen protection hotlines in Viet Nam (operated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its Consular Department) as well as Vietnamese representative missions in Iran, Israel and neighboring countries in the Middle East, including:
