3. (SBU) SUMMARY.  Meeting September 11, the Deputy Secretary and 
Vietnam's Vice Minister for Public Security (MPS) Nguyen Van Huong 
expressed pleasure at the continued development of a strong 
bilateral relationship.  VM Huong offered contradictory views on the 
expansion of the Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) consular district denying 
that the Government of Vietnam places restrictions on diplomats' 
movements, but complaining about meetings with dissidents.  He 
requested that U.S. diplomats "notify" the MPS and local officials 
in advance of "sensitive" meetings.  VM Huong expressed his views on 
China's territorial claim in the South China Sea and lamented the 
lack of U.S. support for Vietnam's position.  Huong said the 
Minister of Public Security Le Hong Anh planned to visit the U.S. in 
the near future. END SUMMARY. 
 
---------------------------------- 
HO CHI MINH CITY CONSULAR DISTRICT 
---------------------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) The Deputy Secretary urged Vietnam to recognize ConGen Ho 
Chi Minh City's (HCMC) full consular district, assuring VM Huong 
that consulate officers have no hidden agenda when they travel 
outside of Ho Chi Minh City.  VM Huong acknowledged that the work of 
U.S. diplomats was not a threat, but noted that southern Vietnam has 
regions with "special characteristics," including areas with a high 
concentration of ethnic minorities, particularly Khmers.  The 
consular district expansion must take into consideration these 
special characteristics.  When pressed, Huong denied that Vietnam 
restricts the work of diplomats and insisted that U.S. diplomats 
from Hanoi and HCMC can go where they want to go.  He said this was 
the first he had heard of the problem. 
 
5. (SBU) At the same time, Huong asserted that the MPS often hears 
complaints from local officials regarding U.S. diplomats' meetings 
with local people.  Highlighting recent meetings by officers in HCMC 
with political dissidents, Huong explained that local authorities 
believe such meetings are counterproductive, encourage unlawful 
activities, and demonstrate U.S. support for activities against the 
government.  Huong said that national level MPS officials understand 
the U.S desire to meet with such people, but noted the need to 
respect local authorities.  Huong requested that the U.S. inform 
local authorities in advance of all such meetings and suggested that 
there be a direct and official line of communication to inform MPS 
of U.S. meetings with "sensitive individuals."  The Deputy Secretary 
explained U.S. diplomats around the world meet with all different 
types of people in the societies where they are posted.  Huong noted 
that while trust is growing between the U.S., the U.S. must 
understand that there are still Vietnamese who are sensitive about 
the role of the U.S.  He committed to engage with the Ambassador on 
this issue. 
 
----------------------------------------- 
REGIONAL SECURITY AND THE SOUTH CHINA SEA 
----------------------------------------- 
 
6.  (SBU) Huong expressed the view that regional security, peace and 
prosperity cannot be accomplished without the presence of the U.S., 
adding that the U.S. presence can help regulate relationships in the 
region.  He emphasized that Vietnam seeks good relations with all 
countries, particularly its neighbors; however, Vietnam cannot 
accept China's territorial claims in the South China Sea.  Offering 
strong MPS support for the upcoming dialogue on defense issues in 
October with Assistant Secretary Kimmitt, Huong hoped the dialogue 
would include an in-depth discussion of this issue.  In response to 
Huong's lament that the U.S. does not take a position on the South 
China Sea, the Deputy Secretary underscored that the USG does 
 
HANOI 00001043  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
support the right of U.S. businesses to carry out legitimate 
business with Vietnam.
