SUBJECT: MFA DELIVERS MESSAGE: STOP SUPPORTING POLITICAL ACTIVISTS 
 
REF:  Hanoi 752 
 
1.  (SBU) On April 27, the Ambassador was called in by MFA Americas 
Department Director General Pham Van Que to receive a message from 
the "highest GVN authorities" concerning the Ambassador's and 
Embassy's "support for political activists."  The text of the 
message is provided in paragraph four below.  Before reading the 
message, a clearly uncomfortable Que noted the positive momentum in 
our bilateral relations and the Ambassador's personal contributions, 
but added that there is "strong discontent" in some parts of the GVN 
about recent U.S. actions. 
 
2.  (SBU) The Ambassador replied that GVN leaders need to understand 
that his and the Embassy's actions in support of human rights 
reflect the concerns of the U.S. Government and the American people. 
 Our meetings with political activists are an important part of the 
work of our Mission and should not be viewed as support for their 
political views, but rather a demonstration of the fundamental U.S. 
belief in the importance of political free speech.  Our efforts to 
set up meetings during the Secretary's visit were done in 
coordination with the GVN, and we will continue to act transparently 
regarding such activities because we know the issue is a sensitive 
one for the GVN and calls for a delicate approach.  The Ambassador 
expressed his strong disappointment that the GVN had interfered with 
the recent event at his residence to which family members of 
political activists had been invited (Reftel) and noted that the 
event became far more important because it was not allowed to take 
place. 
 
3.  (SBU) The Ambassador said he would continue to speak out on 
behalf of peaceful political activism because it is an area of 
fundamental U.S. concern.  Such actions are intended to make overall 
U.S.-Vietnam relations stronger and have no other aim.  He also 
affirmed the USG's full support for Vietnam's sovereignty and 
territorial integrity and offered to speak to GVN officials who have 
concerns about U.S. policy in order to avoid further problems.  Both 
sides need to work together to order to avoid the issue of human 
rights from dominating the visit of President Nguyen Minh Triet and 
also causing greater difficulties in the bilateral relationship. 
 
4.  (SBU) Begin text of MFA message. 
 
The course of renovation (Doi moi) in Vietnam has strongly been 
intensified.  Accordingly, the Government and people of Vietnam are 
determined to speed up economic development, improving people's 
material and spiritual life and at the same time to enhance 
democracy and the rights of their people in managing socio-economic 
life.  On that basis, Vietnam hopes to contribute an increasingly 
positive role for peace, stability, prosperity and international 
cooperation in South East Asia and the world at large.  This policy 
serves benefit of the whole Vietnamese community. 
 
To realize the above-mentioned great objectives, Vietnam does not 
accept law-breaking activities conducted by some Vietnamese 
elements, such as Nguyen Van Ly, Nguyen Van Dai, etc.  These cases 
have nothing to do with the issue of human rights or religious 
freedom.  They are associated with a number of overseas Vietnamese 
reactionaries in order to overthrow the Vietnamese regime, 
threatening the national security of Vietnam. 
 
Vietnam's public opinions have been very discontented at some 
statements by the Ambassador about the group 8406 and the 
Ambassador's arrangement of meetings with relatives of several 
anti-regime elements.  The Ambassador's residence has been seen as 
the venue for meeting with those elements, encouraging them to 
conduct activities which violate Vietnamese laws and undermine 
Vietnam's national security.  The support for those activities runs 
counter to the Ambassador's mission of strengthening Vietnam - U.S. 
relations.  Various circles in Vietnam have questioned the role of 
the U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam, whether to promote the bilateral 
relations or to create instability in Vietnam. 
 
The efforts in arranging meetings with those individuals were made 
at the sensitive moments such as the visits by President Bush, and 
by Congresswoman Sanchez or on the occasion of the Human Rights 
Dialogue.  Therefore, Vietnam's public opinion raised the question 
whether these provocative activities by the U.S. side are aimed at 
creating a critical situation at those times in order to draw the 
attention from U.S. Congress and public to put pressure on Vietnam 
and create difficulties for Vietnam and Vietnam-U.S. relations. 
 
The U.S. Ambassador, the Embassy, and the Consulate General are 
strongly urged not to make any further similar statements or to meet 
with anti-regime elements, which might affect the favorable 
political atmosphere of Vietnam - U.S. relations that the two sides 
have been trying to foster.
