Vietnam condemns terrorist acts in any form and strongly supports the international community’s efforts to combat terrorism based on international law and the UN Charter, said the government leader.

Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung delivered this message at the ongoing Nuclear Security Summit in the US, which brought together the heads of 47 nations, the UN, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the European Union (EU).

PM Dung said that Vietnamese law sets out regulations on ensuring nuclear safety and security and prohibits the illegal trading of materials that are used to produce weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons.

Vietnam, he said, has already drawn up an action plan and has taken a wide range of measures to accomplish these targets, adding that Vietnam actively joins in international conventions and participates in counter-terrorism activities both bilaterally and multilaterally.

To enhance the efficiency of international cooperation in the fight against terrorism, the Vietnamese leader urged the international community to lend more support to nations that need to deploy measures to combat terrorism, ensure nuclear security and implement previously agreed international treaties./.
