In a statement on Wednesday, Saeed Khatibzadeh expressed condolences with the Vietnamese government and people following the recent flooding and landslide in that country, which left dozens dead or missing and left behind massive material damage.
Flooding and landslides this month have killed over 100 people in Vietnam, many of them soldiers, and left dozens more missing.
