HANOI 00001267  001.2 OF 002 
 
 
1. (U) This is an action cable.  Please see paragraph 4. 
 
2. (SBU) In his meeting with Minister of Science and Technology 
Hoang Van Phong, Ambassador Michalak pressed for quick movement by 
the Government of Vietnam (GVN) to sign a bilateral Memorandum of 
Understanding (MOU) for Cooperation in Nuclear Energy and Other 
Energy Fields and to join the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership 
(GNEP).  Minister Hoang supported rapid action, but stated that it 
was unlikely the GVN could complete its review in time for Deputy 
Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai to sign the MOU while in Washington 
next week.  Instead, he suggested Ambassador Michalak sign the MOU 
with him or another high-ranking official in Hanoi.  On joining 
GNEP, Minister Hoang stated it was a question of when, not if. 
However, the GVN wanted to complete its ongoing planning for the 
long-term development of the nuclear power sector before joining the 
GNEP partnership.  End Summary. 
 
Ambassador Urges Quick GVN Action on MOU 
---------------------------------------- 
 
3. (SBU) Ambassador Michalak urged the GVN to accelerate its 
consideration of the nuclear cooperation MOU to allow Deputy Prime 
Minister Hai to sign the document while meeting with U.S. energy 
officials in Washington D.C. next week.  Various ministries, 
including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of 
Industry and Trade (which is overseeing the development of Vietnam's 
first civilian nuclear power plants) had already voiced their 
support for the agreement (Ref A).  As the Ministry of Science and 
Technology (MOST) has primary responsibility for regulating the 
nuclear sector, Ambassador Michalak again urged MOST to promptly 
push the document through the GVN bureaucracy. 
 
GVN Wheels Turning, but Not Yet in High Gear 
-------------------------------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) Clearly better prepared to discuss nuclear energy than at 
their last meeting in August (Ref B), Minister Phong stated that 
MOST had circulated the document for review by relevant ministries, 
but had not yet received all input.  He would try to speed up the 
process, but did not think the GVN could be ready to sign the MOU by 
next week.  Indeed, Deputy Prime Minister Hai did not have direct 
responsibility for the nuclear sector and it would be precedent 
setting for him to sign, instead of the Deputy Prime Minister who 
covered science and technology or the MOST minister himself (Note: 
Though this makes sense, none of interlocutors raised this issue 
until now).  Instead, Minister Phong suggested that Ambassador 
Michalak could sign the MOU for the United States in Hanoi together 
with a representative from the GVN.  Alternately, Vietnamese 
Ambassador Phuong could sign the MOU with the Department of Energy 
in Washington, though Phong preferred the first option. 
 
4. (SBU) ACTION REQUEST:  Please inform us if Ambassador Michalak 
has authority to sign this MOU on behalf of the U.S. Government.  If 
so, we will quickly notify MOST, hopefully spurring them to finalize 
the document for signature. 
 
GNEP: Yes, Yes, but Wait 
------------------------ 
 
5. (SBU) In response to the Ambassador's advocacy for Vietnamese 
participation in GNEP, Minister Phong saw many advantages to joining 
the partnership.  However, the issue is timing.  Phong noted that 
the GVN was discussing its long term nuclear power strategy and 
wanted to complete that planning before signing onto GNEP.  Minister 
Phong then emphasized his desire to increase U.S. training for 
Vietnamese nuclear technicians, particularly in the areas of nuclear 
reactor safety and nuclear regulatory development.

HANOI 00001267  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
6. (SBU) The GVN will not be ready for Deputy Prime Minister Hai to 
sign the MOU in Washington next week.  However, the document finally 
has made its way out of MOST. We hope that Minister Phong's 
increased attention and involvement will speed intra-GVN 
consideration.  After all, the MOU makes the capacity building that 
he envisions more likely.
