1. (SBU) Summary.  Following Embassy's delivery of initial letter 
from Treasury DAS Robert Dohner to Mr. Hung in the Prime Minister's 
office, there was an additional exchange between them on the issue 
of capital controls.  Hung appreciated Treasury's comments, informed 
his superiors, and expected further government consideration of the 
issue after the Tet holiday.  Treasury highlighted taking a careful 
approach to the challenges of strong capital inflows, keeping an eye 
to meeting international commitments and maintaining a 
market-friendly approach, and noted Treasury's technical assistance 
program should help Vietnam strengthen its securities market.  End 
summary. 
 
2. (SBU) Mr. Bui Huy Hung, International Relations Director in the 
Prime Minister's Office, provided additional comments in response to 
the February 13 letter from Treasury Deputy Assistant Secretary 
Robert Dohner we delivered on February 14 (Ref B). 
 
3.  (SBU) In an e-mail dated February 16, Hung confirmed that the 
government has not issued any new guidance to the market beyond 
Directive letter No 20/TB-VPCP dated 29/1/2007 (reported in REF C). 
He also indicated that Vietnam's National Monetary and Finance 
Committee did have a meeting on market control regulation that 
considered the issue of the currently "too hot" and "high risk" 
market.  He thinks that the political leaders will consider the 
committee's proposals soon, after Tet.  He also appreciated 
Treasury's timely comments and brought them to the attention of 
other responsible officials, particularly the concerns about the 
"one-year lock-up period." 
 
4. (SBU) Hung thanked DAS Dohner for Treasury's technical support to 
the Ministry of Finance on Tax Administration.  He also favorably 
noted USAID funding under the STAR project that provided the advice 
of U.S. Stock Exchange experts to Vietnam's national stock exchange 
committee for 10 days in November. 
 
5.  (SBU) Hung added his personal observations that, regarding 
capital controls, the Monetary and Finance committee meeting would 
have discussed options, with consideration to lessons learned from 
neighboring countries as well as its new requirements as a WTO 
member. He cited the WTO as a reason to be very careful about doing 
any interventions in the market, noting we cannot "do any thing we 
like as we did in the past." 
 
6.  (SBU) We also conveyed to Mr. Hung on February 22 a second 
letter from DAS Dohner dated February 15 with the following 
message: 
 
Begin text 
 
Thank you for your prompt response, which was relayed to us by our 
Embassy, and for communicating our concerns within your government. 
We hope that our observations were helpful.  We are heartened that 
Vietnam is taking a careful approach to the challenges of strong 
capital inflows.  The Prime Minister's Directive 20 shows that 
Vietnam is reviewing policy options with an eye to meeting its 
international commitments and maintaining a market-friendly 
approach.  We think that Treasury's technical assistance program 
will be of assistance in tackling some of the issues identified in 
Directive 20 in strengthening your securities market.  We look 
forward to continued policy dialogue and consultation through our 
Technical Assistance program. 
 
I greatly appreciate the opportunity to have this kind of exchange 
of views with you.  I hope you will not hesitate to contact me, and 
that I may contact you again, as issues arise in the future.

Comment

7. (SBU) These two communications between Treasury and OOG crossed 
in the mail because of the Tet holiday, but helped to establish a 
useful channel for conveying U.S. views on the sensitive issue of 
capital controls.
