Ensuring the safety and protection of the lawful rights and interests of Vietnamese citizens abroad is a policy consistently pursued by the Party and the State.
With the ongoing armed conflict in Sudan and rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait, Vietnam stands ready to ensure the safety and protection of its citizens in the event of a potential emergency.

Deputy Spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Doan Khac Viet made the remarks at a regular press briefing on April 20.
At the conference, Viet provided an update on the situation of Vietnamese citizens in Sudan and outlined the measures taken to ensure the safety and protection of Vietnamese nationals amid the ongoing armed conflict, which has unfortunately claimed more than 3,000 lives.
According to the Vietnamese Embassy in Egypt, one Vietnamese citizen is now living in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum, while 16 other Vietnamese citizens are working as crew members on a ship near the Sudanese port. Fortunately, all of these people are currently reported to be safe.
"The embassy will continue to closely monitor the situation and take necessary protective measures as needed," said the deputy spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
During the press conference, reporters also asked about rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait that have alarmed Southeast Asian nations. Some countries are apparently planning to move their citizens out of the region.
In this regard, Viet said that ensuring the safety and protecting the lawful rights and interests of Vietnamese citizens abroad is a policy that the Party and the State consistently follow.
"Peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait are not only important for the region but also for global peace and cooperation. Vietnam hopes that all relevant parties will actively contribute to maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait," he said.
