Vietnam voices concern over Moscow Market closure

Vietnam is paying very close attention to the Moscow administration’s decision to temporarily close the Cherkirovo market, since it greatly affects the lives of many Vietnamese people who are doing business legally there, a Vietnamese spokesman said.
Vietnam is paying very close attention to the Moscow administration’s decision to temporarily close the Cherkirovo market, since it greatly affects the lives of many Vietnamese people who are doing business legally there, a Vietnamese spokesman said.

Spokesman for the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry Le Dung made the comment in his July 17 reply to the Vietnam News Agency’s query on Vietnam’s reaction regarding the Moscow administration’s decision.

He said representatives of the Foreign Ministry and the Vietnamese Embassy in Russia had worked with relevant Russian agencies to deliver the country’s message of concern about the issue.

“Based on the two countries’ time-honoured friendship, we ask the Moscow administration and relevant Russian agencies to address the matter in a just and transparent manner to ensure the legitimate rights and interests, as well as the safety, of the Vietnamese people who are running business in the market along with their goods and assets,” spokesman Dung said.

He noted that Vietnam also hopes the Moscow administration will take practical supportive measures and provide favourable conditions to enable Vietnamese citizens to continue conducting their lawful businesses, if the Cherkirovo market closes./.
