In the coming time, Vietnamese laborers will go home by air. When asked about Viet Nam’s reaction to the Israel-Palestine issues following a new ceasefire agreement, Mr. Binh said that Viet Nam condemned military activities at the Gaza Strip, which caused deaths and damages to local people and the United Nations officials. Viet Nam called on the related sides to respect the immediate ceasefire agreement and accelerate negotiations to bring peace and stability to the region. By Thuy Dung
