Answering reporters’ questions on February 2 on Vietnam’s response to the US' January 29 announcement of additional tariffs on goods from countries providing oil for Cuba, spokeswoman of the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pham Thu Hang reaffirmed Vietnam's support for the resolutions adopted by the United Nations General Assembly over many years calling on the US to immediately lift its unilateral blockade and embargo against Cuba and to take steps towards dialogue and improved relations with the country.
"Once again, Vietnam strongly affirms its solidarity and traditional friendship with the brotherly Cuban people," she stressed.
