A June 15 statement made by a spokesman for the US Department of State regarding the case of arrested lawyer Le Cong Dinh is groundless, a senior diplomat has said.

Nguyen Phuong Nga, deputy head of the Foreign Ministry’s Press Department, made the declaration at an international press briefing yesterday where she spoke to the media about Dinh, who was detained for subversion against the government on June 13.

“This (the US statement) interferes in Vietnam’s internal affairs and goes against the commitments that the

US stated clearly in the two countries’ joint statement that it respects Vietnam’s national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity,” Nga said.

“The statement exasperates the Vietnamese people,” she added.

The diplomat said Vietnamese agencies have met with representatives of the US government to clarify the issue and request that the US not interfere in Vietnam’s internal affairs.
