Vietnam condemns the attack on the Iranian Embassy in Syria that killed at least seven people on Monday, Pham Thu Hang, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said at a press conference in Hanoi on Saturday.
Hang stressed that all the buildings of diplomatic representative and consular offices must be respected and protected in line with international law.
Vietnam calls on the related parties to refrain from using violence, resolve differences by peaceful means, avoid escalating tensions in the region and comply with international law, including the Vienna Convention 1961 on ensuring the life, security, and safety for the people, members of the representative offices and their families.
The seven fatalities of the attack included Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a top commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, according to a report by Reuters.
Tehran accused Israel of carrying out the attack using F-35 fighter jets.
