Recently, French police discovered a woman who had died in an apartment on the outskirts of Paris and determined that this was a missing Vietnamese citizen. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is supporting the family to carry out the necessary legal procedures.

At a regular press conference on the afternoon of June 6, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Pham Thu Hang informed that a Vietnamese citizen named N.B.N. (born in 1997) who is a student studying in France has lost contact with his family since January.

Citing information from the Vietnamese Embassy in France, Ms. Hang said that as soon as she received information about the disappearance of the N.B.N. citizen, the Embassy notified the French police to search for the citizen and coordinate with Vietnamese representative agencies in neighboring countries to closely follow up on this case.

"Recently, French police discovered a body in an apartment on the outskirts of Paris (France). After verifying the identity, the French authorities determined that this is an N.B.N. citizen," Ms. Pham Thu Hang informed.

After the above incident, the Vietnamese Embassy in France informed and supported the family to go to France and arranged to work with the authorities to carry out the necessary legal procedures.

Following the direction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Vietnamese Embassy in France will continue to coordinate with French authorities to clarify the case and soon bring Ms. N.'s ashes back to the country.

"On this occasion, we send our deepest condolences to the families of N.B.N. citizens for this extremely great loss," a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam expressed.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also expects Vietnamese citizens residing abroad to carry out citizenship registration procedures at Vietnamese representative missions abroad, in order to receive quick and timely support in emergency cases.

N. once told her family that she was renting a room in an apartment managed by a Senegalese woman in Amsterdam. However, due to the approaching visa period, N.'s family thinks that N. has returned to France.

On January 28, 2024, N.'s parents in Vietnam had a two-hour conversation with her and that was the last time they heard from their daughter.

Dad went to Europe to find and see off the last road and will take him back to his homeland of Vietnam. Goodbye to my beloved daughter," Ms. N.'s father emotionally shared on her personal Facebook on June 5.
