3. (SBU) SUMMARY.  On September 11, the Deputy Secretary and 
Vietnamese Vice Minister of National Defense Nguyen Van Hieu 
agreed that U.S.-Vietnam ties have grown across the board, 
with high-level exchanges over the last three years helping 
to strengthen the relationship.  VM Hieu reiterated Hanoi's 
desire to solve the issue of competing claims in the South 
China peacefully through use of the Law of the Sea.  The two 
leaders affirmed that U.S. oil companies should be able to 
carry out business activities in the area.  The Deputy 
Secretary expressed U.S. desire to step up security talks in 
light of the general positive trends in the relationship; 
however, Hieu said Hanoi will continue to accommodate only 
one U.S. ship visit per year.  The Vice Minister stated that 
the GVN has shared all relevant information concerning 
Americans missing from the war.  END SUMMARY. 
 
--------------------------------- 
MIL-TO-MIL TIES GROW STEP-BY-STEP 
--------------------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) Pointing to the many changes Vietnam has undergone 
since his last trip to the country in 1973, the Deputy 
Secretary expressed satisfaction that the USG enjoys positive 
and strong relations with Hanoi.  The two sides now cooperate 
in many areas, especially in non-military fields.  The Deputy 
Secretary and VM Hieu agreed that the military-to-military 
relationship is growing step-by-step. 
 
5. (SBU) More military exchanges have taken place and U.S. 
ships have paid visits to Vietnamese ports, although the U.S. 
is limited to one port call per year, the Deputy Secretary 
said.  The Vice Minister pointed out that Hanoi is 
diversifying its defense relations and that many countries 
would like to send ships to Vietnam.  For this reason, Hanoi 
would continue to accommodate only one U.S. ship visit per 
year.  The Deputy Secretary and Vice Minister Hieu agreed 
that the U.S. military student studying Vietnamese in Hanoi 
and the two Vietnamese military officers studying English in 
the United States are a manifestation of improving mil-to-mil 
ties. 
 
--------------- 
SOUTH CHINA SEA 
--------------- 
 
6. (SBU) VM Hieu emphasized that the South China Sea issue is 
rooted in history.  Many countries have claims in the South 
China Sea and China's claim covers a large area, he added. 
He expressed Hanoi's desire to settle the issue peacefully 
and in accord with the Law of the Sea.  The Deputy Secretary 
agreed that the issue should be resolved peacefully and that 
U.S. oil companies should not be impeded from doing business 
in the area.  Hanoi is committed to protecting its 
sovereignty and interests in the South China Sea and wants to 
see U.S. oil companies working there, Vice Minister Hieu said. 
 
---------------------- 
UPCOMING POL-MIL TALKS 
---------------------- 
 
7. (SBU) The Deputy Secretary emphasized that the USG is open 
to security discussions in the context of the overall 
improvement in relations.  VM Hieu responded that October's 
 
HANOI 00001045  002 OF 002 
 
 
political-military talks represent another step forward in 
the growing U.S.-Vietnam relationship.  He said the MND will 
send several representatives to the talks, which the Ministry 
of Foreign Affairs will lead. 
 
--------------------------------------------- - 
LEGACY ISSUES AND HANOI'S PROCUREMENT REQUESTS 
--------------------------------------------- - 
 
8.  (SBU) The two sides continue to make progress on war 
legacy issues, with the Deputy Secretary referring to the 
ongoing Joint Advisory Committee meetings on dioxin as 
evidence of U.S. commitment.  VM Hieu said his colleagues at 
the MND have thoroughly searched all archives and provided 
all relevant information to the USG on missing Americans and 
promised to relay any relevant information that the MND finds 
in these archives; however, he did not address the Deputy 
Secretary's request for additional USG access to these 
archives.  The Vice Minister thanked the USG for a CD-Rom 
with information on unaccounted-for Vietnamese and appealed 
for more help in tracking down the roughly 300,000 Vietnamese 
still missing.  VM Hieu reiterated GVN requests for spare 
parts for UH-1 helicopters and amphibious vehicles.  He also 
asked for the United States to supply Vietnam with 
communication and radar equipment. 
 
----------- 
DATT'S VISA 
----------- 
 
9. (SBU) To the Deputy Secretary's appeal for the early 
accreditation of the US Embassy's new Defense Attache, Vice 
Minister Hieu responded that the MND has directed the 
relevant agencies to step up processing of the request.
