Viewing cable 07HANOI2113, MORE POTENTIAL PARTNERS FOR AGENT ORANGE/DIOXIN REMEDIATION

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #07HANOI2113.

SUBJECT: MORE POTENTIAL PARTNERS FOR AGENT ORANGE/DIOXIN REMEDIATION 
 
 
Ref: A. Hanoi 2053 B. Hanoi 2009 
 
1. (SBU) Summary.  U.S. engagement continues to catalyze other 
donors to participate in dioxin remediation and related health 
projects.  The Government of Vietnam (GVN) also continues to move 
forward on its clean up projects.  At the same time, donors and the 
GVN are waiting for the United States to take the next steps in 
implementing the recently appropriated USD 3 million for "dioxin 
mitigation and health activities" in Vietnam.  End Summary. 
 
2. (SBU) Over the past month, ESTHOffs learned that UNDP and the 
Global Environmental Facility (GEF) relied upon reports of increased 
U.S. engagement on the issue of Agent Orange/dioxin to decide to 
increase potential funding of dioxin-related projects in Vietnam 
(ref B).  Subsequently, Caroline den Hulk, Communications Director 
of UNICEF Vietnam, confirmed that the Ford Foundation had provided 
USD 688,000 to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF to build institutional 
capacity to treat child disabilities, starting in Danang.  Carol 
Stein, Chairwoman of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, plans to visit 
Vietnam in late January with the Ford Foundation and Aspen Institute 
funded U.S-Vietnam Dialogue Group and expects to return with her 
board in March 2008 to review dioxin-related projects.  Dr. Charles 
Bailey, Director of Ford Foundation's Special Initiative on Agent 
Orange/Dioxin, confirmed to the Ambassador that the Atlantic 
Philanthropies and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are 
considering support for population health systems, including a 
dioxin diagnostic laboratory and livelihood support for people 
living with disabilities. 
 
3. (SBU) Representatives from the Czech Republic detailed to 
ESTHOffs their dioxin-related efforts, which include ecological 
sampling and analysis at a pilot site in Thua Tien-Hue Province. 
With the approval and guidance from the GVN's Office 33, the 
national coordinating body for international cooperation on the 
Agent Orange/dioxin issue, the Czechs began work in 2006 and have 
since spent over USD 500,000 to collect soil and animal blood 
samples to test for dioxin exposure.  The Czechs, who developed 
dioxin remediation expertise cleaning up domestic contamination, 
plan to spend an additional USD 500,000 over the next few years and 
would like to work with the United States and other donors on 
remediation activities as part of their "normal" development 
assistance. 
 
4. (SBU) We have also heard that other donors are looking to get 
involved.  Matin Naprstek of the Czech Development Centre told 
ESTHOffs that Germany and Austria were considering engagement now 
that the United States and other donors had initiated cooperative 
efforts with the Vietnamese.  William Paterson, lead infrastructure 
specialist at the World Bank office in Hanoi, told ESTHOff that 
World Bank might have infrastructure financing for public waterworks 
to support full dioxin remediation in Danang.  The Dean of the Hanoi 
School of Public Health later told HHS Health Attache that MOH 
officials are dusting off old proposals and discussing ways to 
engage on dioxin-related health issues with various donors. 
 
5.  (SBU) At the same time, GVN officials are anxious for the United 
States to begin to implement the USD 3 million in ESF funds for 
dioxin mitigation appropriated earlier this year.  In a December 6 
meeting with Ambassador Michalak on climate change issues (ref A), 
Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment (MONRE) Nguyen 
Khoi Pham also raised the issue of dioxin, one of two issues that he 
said weigh the most heavily upon him (coordinating Vietnam's 
national action plan to respond to climate change being the other). 
Earlier, MONRE's Office 33 Director General Dr. Le Ke Son expressed 
to ESTHOff his disappointment at the perceived lack of movement by 
the United States and noted that he is under increasing pressure 
from his superiors and the Vietnamese press to explain why the 
United States has yet to disburse the funds.  Son noted that the GVN 
had already begun independent remediation efforts, had worked to 
remove obstacles to international assistance, and was willing to 
supplement the U.S. funding, which would serve as a catalyst for 
other donor participation.
