Commenting on the Cross-Party Group (CPG) on Wales International inviting the Vietnamese Ambassador to their AGM tomorrow entitled: “Wales and Vietnam – a success story”, Welsh Conservative Shadow Constitution Minister, Darren Millar MS said:

“Vietnam is a Communist, police state that persecutes religious minorities and has a dreadful human rights record.

“Any and all communications between Wales and Vietnam should be constructive and critical, drawing attention to these facts.

 “It is a horrific mistake to praise our relationship with Vietnam as ‘a success story’ while these issues persist.”

 The CPG will meet with The Vietnamese Ambassador ‘as part of the 50 Years of Diplomatic Relations celebrations between UK and Vietnam.’
