Answering reporters’ questions about Vietnam’s reaction to the issue, Hang underlined that this is totally unsuitable and unacceptable considering the trends of a sound development of the Vietnam-Australia strategic partnership.
She added that Vietnam has discussed with Australia this issue, requesting it to take measures to cease the circulation of those items and prevent similar incidents in the future.
