HA NOI (VNS) — Viet Nam strongly condemned the recent attack on a Vietnamese citizen in Malaysia, Deputy Spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry Pham Thu Hang said yesterday.
The Vietnamese Embassy in Malaysia reported that on October 29 Malaysian authorised agencies confirmed the detention of three suspects involved in the case. The victim was sent to hospital for treatment and was asked to co-operate with local police during their investigation.
Viet Nam urged Malaysian agencies to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Vietnamese citizens in the country and strictly punish culprits, Hang said. The Vietnamese Embassy was working closely with local authorities to verify information. — VNS
