The DPRK’s action violated relevant resolutions of the United Nations Security Council and escalated tensions in the region, he added. 
“Vietnam’s consistent viewpoint is supporting all efforts aiming to maintain peace, stability and development in the Korean Peninsula as well as in the region and the world.” 
“Vietnam supports the settlement of all disputes via dialogues and affirms that the UN Security Council’s relevant resolutions need to be seriously implemented,” the spokesman noted.
