The priority of repatriation will be given to Vietnamese citizens stranded in Japan, the UK, and the US.

The repatriation gives priority to children under 18, the elderly, the sick, and people of special cases.

So far, nearly 600 Vietnamese citizens have been repatriated from Canada.

Vietnam has repatriated its citizens from Taiwan and Japan several times.

Tehran said the seizure is merely environmental matters but not political motives.
