Vietnam welcomes the Seoul Court of Appeals upheld the ruling that requires the government of the Republic of Korea (RoK) to compensate more than KRW30 million (approximately US$20,000) to Nguyen Thi Thanh, who lost her family in the 1968 massacre in the central province of Quang Nam in 1968.
In response to reporters' queries regarding Vietnam’s stance on the court's decision, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Pham Thu Hang said on January 22 that it reflects historical truth and contributes to realising the spirit of 'putting the past behind and looking toward the future.'
Vietnam hopes to work with the RoK to further develop their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, take practical actions to address the consequences of war, and strengthen the friendship and cooperation between the two nations and their people, she noted.
