expressed his government's support for United Nations Security
Council resolution 1701, noting that it attempts to bring the
month-long conflict in southern Lebanon to an end. The GVN "urges
all the concerned parties to implement the resolution strictly and
take practical steps to restore peace to the region," Dzung
concluded.
