Vietnamese authorities are working hard to verify information related to a pirate attack on a Vietnamese vessel in the Philippines’ waters that killed one, thus applying measures to protect Vietnamese citizens, stated a representative from the Foreign Ministry’s Consular Department on February 20th.

The Embassy of Vietnam in Ukraine is working intensively with authorised agencies of the host country to ensure the legitimate rights of Vietnamese citizens in Lang Sen, a Vietnamese quarter in Odessa city, are being protected, stated Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson Le Hai Binh.

The Vietnamese Embassy in Belgium has opened up 2 hotlines at 0032-498352442 and 0032-485315965, operating around the clock, to receive any information from and give support to any Vietnamese citizens’ urgent requests in Belgium.

All Vietnamese nationals in the Czech Republic, who face difficulties in consular and citizen protection issues, now can dial 792 392 299 for consultancy and support.
