Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Pham Thu Hang revealed the information at a regular press briefing on March 20 when asked about the protection of the saved citizens.
She cited the embassy as reporting that Myanmar authorities had temporarily detained several Vietnamese nationals for violations of exit – entry rules following crackdowns on online scam operations in Myawaddy, near the Thai border.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is coordinating closely with domestic agencies to verify the identities of the detained individuals.
