The Vietnamese Embassy in India advised citizens to stay updated with new developments via the host country’s reputable media outlets while not coming to conflict-affected or unsafe areas, especially Jammu and Kashmir, where the conflict occurs.

The Vietnamese nationals were recommended to strictly adhere to local authorities’ regulations and guidance on security and safety measures, and proactively take necessary measures for ensuring security and safety for themselves and their families.

They were also asked to maintain contact with the embassy in case they face emergencies, need support, or look for citizen protection information.

They can liaise with the embassy via the citizen protection hotline +91 7042035588, switchboard +84 981848484, or email consularsection@vietnamembassydelhi.in.

Shortly after the fierce military actions between India and Pakistan on May 6 night and early May 7, the Vietnamese Embassy in Pakistan also released recommendations for the citizens there via social media, urging them to limit travel, avoid dangerous areas, and keep abreast of local authorities’ recommendations and the latest developments.

The Vietnamese people in Pakistan were also suggested to contact the embassy when necessary, gear up essential supplies, and ready evacuation plans.
