Hanoi, Oct. 16 -- Pham made the above remarks on Thursday at the ministry's press briefing in response to a question about Viet Nam-related assessments in the U.S. Department of State's 2026 Trafficking in Persons Report which was released on October 9.

Viet Nam has intensified efforts to prevent and combat human trafficking, particularly through the adoption and implementation of its 2026-2030 program on human trafficking prevention and control, with a vision to 2035, she said.

The effective and coordinated implementation of the 2024 Law on Human Trafficking Prevention and Combat has been accompanied by stronger efforts to investigate, prosecute and adjudicate trafficking cases, alongside measures to identify and assist victims.
