He explained how Viet Nam had settled the impacts of the social disturbances that hitforeign enterprises in some localities in mid-May, including those from China.

"We regret the incidents occurred to foreign-invested firms, including Chinese businesses and workers. We are also sorry that some Chinese workers lost their lives or were injured during the incident," said Binh.

Viet Nam would roll out humanitarian support for the Chinese workers affected, he said, adding that the Vietnam-China Friendship Association would send a working team to China to visit the families of several victims.

He added that Viet Nam would continue to implement support policies and measures announced by the Government to assist the affected firms resume normal operations.
