SUBJECT: AMBASSADOR'S MEETINGS WITH STATE BANK, FINANCE ON U.S. 
ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS 
 
 
(U) THIS CABLE IS SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED.  NOT FOR INTERNET. 
 
REF: HANOI 932 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary:  The Ambassador reviewed ongoing U.S. financial 
sector technical assistance programs in separate meetings May 17 and 
18 with State Bank Governor Le Duc Thuy and the Finance Minister Vu 
Van Ninh.  Both officials expressed appreciation for and asked for 
more assistance.  Governor Thuy also provided his views on the 
evolution of his institution.  These meetings also covered other 
topics, and this cable should be read in conjunction with reftel. 
End Summary. 
 
2.  (SBU) The Ambassador used both meetings to highlight ongoing 
U.S. assistance programs underway with the Finance Ministry and 
State Bank.  For Finance, he described the status of Treasury's 
response to Finance Vice Minister Tran Xuan Ha's January request for 
technical assistance in taxation, insurance regulation, credit 
guarantee programs and banking reform.  The Ambassador made specific 
reference to ongoing discussions regarding a State/INL project to 
assist the Vietnam's Customs Service (part of MOF) in enforcing 
intellectual property rights regulations.  The Ambassador noted an 
agreement to this effect could be highlighted during President 
Triet's proposed June visit to the United States.  At the State 
Bank, he cited USAID's Support for Trade Acceleration (STAR) project 
and its solid track record of good relationships, and called for 
continued close cooperation. 
 
3.  (SBU) State Bank Governor Le Duc Thuy and Finance Minister Vu 
Van Ninh were appreciative of U.S. assistance and support in their 
responses.  Indeed, Minister Ninh's opening remarks concentrated on 
thanking the United States for its support to Vietnam's WTO 
application, PNTR, U.S. investment and its help in making Vietnam a 
market-oriented economy.  SBV Governor Thuy noted the value of 
USAID/STAR's current leading role in providing technical assistance 
to formulate four key banking sector laws on the central bank, 
credit institutions, financial supervision and deposit insurance. 
 
4.  (SBU) Minister Ninh was pleased about U.S. Treasury's response 
to his Ministry's request and commented favorably on the prospects 
for further cooperation and help from Treasury.  Clearly prepared 
for this topic, he ticked off areas for increased investment, 
cooperation and assistance: 
 
* continued support and investment in Vietnam's economy, including 
trade, tourism, and investment; 
 
* support for science and technology, particularly information 
systems; 
 
* promotion of opportunities for access to loans and grants for 
telecommunications and infrastructure development; 
 
* support for Vietnam's inclusion in the General System of 
Preferences; 
 
* U.S. recognition of market economy status for Vietnam; and, 
 
* technical assistance for help in meeting Vietnam's commitments to 
the WTO and the Bilateral Trade Agreement. 
 
Finally, responding to a point raised by the Ambassador, Minister 
Ninh endorsed the regional bond market technical assistance project 
in APEC. 
 
5.  (SBU) For his part, State Bank Governor Thuy singled out USAID's 
STAR project in his response.  The Governor did not present a 
separate list of needs; rather his openness to assistance and closer 
cooperation was spread throughout his remarks.  In his discussion of 
capital controls, he sought U.S. assistance in understanding and 
managing this phenomenon.  He also made a specific plea for 
assistance in managing venture funds and hedge funds. 
 
6.  (SBU) In response to a question posed by the Ambassador, 
Governor Thuy went on at length about the future role of the State 
Bank.  He noted a recent government decision to enhance the State 
Bank's role and said the key question is how the State Bank can 
evolve to become a modern central bank in a market economy.  The 
extent of its autonomy will be an issue as the new government (a 
 
HANOI 00000936  002 OF 002 
 
 
7.  (SBU) To both officials, the Ambassador expressed his hopes for 
continued cooperation and assured them that he and his staff were 
open to continued dialogue on assistance needs and friendly advice. 
 
8.  (SBU) Comment:  Nothing in these discussions will generate 
headlines, but we did come away convinced of both the SBV's and the 
Ministry of Finance's appreciation for U.S. support and assistance 
and their strong interest in more of the same.  Both institutions 
clearly want to keep steering Vietnam on the path of a 
market-oriented economy and both institutions have a good grasp of 
areas where they need help.  The positive comments of these two 
officials underscores Mission Vietnam's reporting on the importance 
of USAID's STAR project and other U.S. technical assistance efforts. 
 Moreover, with respect to the new laws Governor Thuy cited, the 
USAID STAR project has played a lead role in revamping the legal 
framework for Vietnam's financial institutions.  End comment.
