Viewing cable 06HANOI290,

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. #06HANOI290.

POSITION 
 
Ref: A) State 20173; B) 5 Hanoi 1830 
 
1. (SBU) During a meeting on Februry 10, the Charge 
delivered Ref A's talking poins to Assistant Foreign 
Minister and Americas Deprtment Director General Nguyen Duc 
Hung.  AFM Hun explained that Vietnam normally supports the 
reional consensus candidate, but that the current siuation 
complicated things.  Hung also added that following last 
year's agreement to open diplomaic offices in each other's 
capital (Ref B), the Vnezuelan Charge had recently arrived 
in Hanoi.  n the subject of whether to support Venezuela or 
Guatemala, Vietnam has not yet made its decision, AFM Hung 
said. 
 
2. (SBU) Comment:  The recent arrival of the Venezuelan 
Charge, combined with the longstanding, "traditional 
friendship" between Vietnam and Cuba, may make Guatemala's 
candidacy here a tough sell.  We will continue to encourage 
our MFA interlocutors to support Guatemala's bid.  End 
Comment.
