Việt Nam’s MIA cooperation has always been acknowledged and highly appreciated by the US side, and is regarded as a model of international cooperation
HÀ NỘI — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday refuted the assessment of a report released in June from the United States-based The National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia concerning humanitarian cooperation in the search for and identification of American service members missing in action (MIA) during the war in Việt Nam.
Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Việt Nam Phạm Thu Hằng, in response to Việt Nam News' request for reaction to criticisms contained in the report on the cooperation with the US side in the matter, stated that “These are distorted, false information, and we firmly reject them.”
“Humanitarian cooperation in the search for and identification of US service members missing in action (MIA) during the war in Việt Nam has been actively and effectively implemented by the Governments of Việt Nam and the United States for more than 50 years, helping to identify and repatriate the remains of thousands of US personnel,” Hằng said in a statement.
“This is a deeply meaningful result that has contributed to promoting bilateral cooperation in war legacy issues and serves as vivid evidence of humanitarian spirit, helping to build and strengthen mutual trust and friendship between Việt Nam and the United States,” she noted.
