(VOVworld) - Vietnamese Deputy Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has condemned the attack in Paris’ Charlie Hebdo magazine office on Wednesday, killing 12 people.

Pham Thi Thu Hang was addressing a regular Foreign Ministry’s press briefing: “Vietnam denounces terrorist acts in any forms. The terrorist attack in Charlie Hebdo magazine office yesterday was barbaric and unacceptable. Vietnam conveys its condolences and deepest empathy to the French government, people, and victim families. We believe that the perpetrators shall feel the full weight of justice.”

Responding to reporter questions on recent Chinese activities in the East Sea, the spokeswoman reiterated Vietnam’s stance to resolutely oppose any violation of national sovereignty and territorial integrity in the East Sea.
Vietnam aims to settle issues in the East Sea by peaceful means based on international law, especially the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and the Declaration of the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea. All activities by any party in the East Sea without Vietnam’s consent were illegal and invalid. She said Vietnam and China celebrate the 65^th anniversary of diplomatic ties this year and will hold many activities to consolidate the comprehensive strategic partnership between them.
