Ambassador Giang reaffirmed Việt Nam's consistent position on settling international disputes through peaceful measures, in full compliance with international law and the UN Charter, especially core principles of respecting independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of states, and refraining from the use or threat of force.

He noted Việt Nam's strong support for the UN’s role in upholding international peace and security.
