Public services related to consular issues and citizen protection must be convenient while the Vietnamese missions abroad need to promote political, ideological works as well as ensure honesty and exemplary lifestyle for diplomats, Hang added.

Hang made the statement following the Ministry of Public Security (MPS)’s updates on the repatriation flight case, in which some senior diplomats were arrested for their involvement in the case.
On October 4, the MPS said that it launched legal proceedings against a former official at the Vietnamese Consulate General in Osaka, Japan for his bribery offense related to repatriation flights.
“The MoFA has closely worked with related agencies in the investigations to ensure the perpetrators would be held accountable for their offenses,” she said in a statement.
“The MoFA’s consistent view is that all diplomats must strictly abide by the guidelines and the law. All violations will be handled according to the law without exception,” she emphasized.
According to the MPS, 21 people are verified culprits of the repatriation flight bribery case, including Deputy Foreign Minister To Anh Dung, 58.
