Foreign Ministry spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang made the statement in response to reporters’ question regarding the recent political instability in Myanmar.

Myanmar’s military seized power after detaining Aung San Suu Kyi and other democratically elected leaders on February 1.

As neighbours in the region and both are members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Vietnam has closely followed the ongoing situation in Myanmar and expects the situation will soon be stabilized.
