THIS CABLE IS SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED. 
 
Ref: A) State 64921 B) Hanoi 1067 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary:  The GVN is apparently not interested in quickly 
pursuing two formal agreements on nonproliferation which have been 
under negotiation between the Department of Energy and the Ministry 
of Science and Technology since 2004.  MOST remains open, however, 
to discussion of the transfer of the unspent fuel rods at the Dalat 
research reactor.  The prospects of further progress in this 
endeavor will be explored in meetings between GVN officials and a 
DOE team scheduled to be in Hanoi the week of October 23.  End 
Summary. 
 
2.  (SBU) Embassy Hanoi received a diplomatic note from the MFA in 
response to the Embassy's diplomatic note of April 26 (Refs A and 
B).  The MFA note (full text in paragraph 3) was in response to an 
Embassy note that had conveyed two draft agreements to the GVN for 
its consideration:  the "Agreement between the Government of the 
United States of America and the Government of the Socialist 
Republic of Vietnam to Facilitate the Provision of Assistance for 
Nonproliferation Purposes" (a government-to-government Agreement), 
as well as the "Agreement between the Department of Energy of the 
United States of America and the Ministry of Science and Technology 
of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Concerning Cooperation in the 
Area of Prevention of Proliferation of Nuclear Materials and 
Technologies" (the implementing agreement). 
 
3.  (SBU) Begin text of note. 
 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs 
Socialist Republic of Vietnam 
 
No: 424/NG-TCQT 
 
Hanoi, September 28, 2006 
 
Embassy of the United States of America, Hanoi: 
 
The Department of International Organizations of the Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam presents its 
compliments to the Embassy of the United States of America in 
Vietnam and referring to the Embassy's diplomatic note No. 00404/06 
dated 26 April, 2006, has the honor to inform the following: 
 
It is the consistent policy of the Vietnamese Government, which 
receives full acknowledgement and high appreciation from the 
international community, to promote the general and complete 
disarmament, support the non-proliferation of weapons of mass 
destructions (WMD), and advocate the peaceful use of nuclear energy. 
 Vietnam has acceded to and strictly implemented international 
treaties on WMD such as the Convention on Biological Weapons (BWC, 
1980), the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT, 1982), the Comprehensive 
Test Ban Treaty (CTBT, 1996), and the Convention on Chemical Weapons 
(CWC, 1998). 
 
In that spirit, Vietnam welcomes the recent proposal of the America 
on the "Agreement to Facilitate the Provision of Assistance for 
Nonproliferation Purposes" and shall request the assistance in this 
area as the need arises. 
 
The Department of International Organizations of the Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam avails itself 
of this opportunity to renew to the Embassy of the United States of 
America in Vietnam the assurances of its highest consideration. 
 
End text of note. 
 
4. (SBU) Following receipt of the MFA note, ESTH Assistant followed 
up with MFA International Organizations Department Desk Officer 
Nguyen Hai Luu to clarify the meaning of the phrase "...shall 
request the assistance in this area as the need arises."  Luu said 
that this can be understood to mean that, at the moment, the 
Government of Vietnam does not need the USG's assistance and thus 
does not feel compelled to pursue the two draft agreements. 
Contacts with MFA officials yielded a similar interpretation. 
 
5. (SBU) COMMENT: The transfer of the unspent fuel rods at the Dalat 
research reactor could be implemented through an existing trilateral 
U.S.-Russia-International Atomic Energy Agency contract.  This 
requires approval of the Prime Minister, an action that senior 
officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology have repeatedly 
assured us (since March 2006) is forthcoming.  The transfer of spent 
fuel rods, however, does not fall under this contract and would 
require agreements such as those proposed to the GVN.  The GVN may 
assume that the spent rods pose limited risk and, hence, do not 
 
HANOI 00002662  002 OF 002 
 
 
require the additional effort of getting the two draft bilateral 
agreements negotiated, reviewed and signed -- a process that could 
take a considerable additional period of time.  END COMMENT.
