Faced with escalating tensions, which show signs of worsening and spreading widely, the Vietnamese Embassy in Egypt and Lebanon continues to advise Vietnamese citizens to leave Lebanon while commercial flights are still operating.

For Vietnamese citizens planning to travel to Lebanon, the Embassy recommends stopping/cancelling the trip until the situation is safe again.
