HANOI, Mar 24 (NNN-VNA) – Vietnam rejected U.S. human rights report as based on false information.
“Vietnam feels sorry that the 2022 human rights report, by the U.S. Department of State, has made biased comments, based on false information about the real situation in Vietnam,” deputy spokeswoman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Pham Thu Hang, said, at a regular press briefing in Hanoi yesterday.
The spokeswoman reaffirmed Vietnam’s consistent policy, to protect and promote human rights.
“Fundamental human rights and freedom are recognised in the Constitution of Vietnam, protected and promoted by concrete legal documents and implemented in reality,” she said.
She added, Vietnam sees humans as the driving force of the country’s reforms and development.
“Vietnam has made great efforts to improve the people’s lives and rights, to enjoy life with no one left behind,” she said.
Pham Thu Hang stressed that, Vietnam remains open to “constructive talks with the U.S. on matters where the two countries have different views, in order to increase mutual understanding and contribute to the development of bilateral comprehensive partnership.”
