He said the Vietnamese Embassy in Egypt has developed contingency plans and assigned personnel in accordance with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ directives on protecting citizens impacted by the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict.

The Embassy has been coordinating closely with relevant Egyptian authorities and the Vietnamese Embassy in Israel to facilitate the reception and support for evacuees. Embassy staff will be present at the Taba crossing to handle immigration procedures and assist citizens upon arrival.

The Embassy in Iran remains operational, ensuring the safety of its staff and maintaining regular contact with the remaining 11 Vietnamese nationals, most of whom are long-term residents.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese Embassy in Israel has begun the registration process for repatriation and is preparing detailed evacuation plans. It is working closely with Vietnamese missions in neighboring countries and relevant domestic agencies to enable immediate action if needed.
