Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnamese State President Luong Cuong has sent messages to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, UN General Assembly President Philemon Yang, Chairman of the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People Cheikh Niang, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on the occasion of International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People which was held on November 26.

In his messages, the State leader reaffirmed Vietnam’s strong support for and solidarity with the Palestinian people in their just struggle for independence and freedom, given the fact that escalating conflicts have claimed tens of thousands of lives, injured hundreds of thousands, and left homes in ruins.

President Cuong reiterated Vietnam's consistent stance on resolving the Palestinian issue through peaceful measures based on respect for international law and relevant UN resolutions and ensuring the legitimate rights of all parties involved, particularly the Palestinian people's inalienable rights, including their right to establish an independent and sovereign state that coexists peacefully and securely alongside the State of Israel.
