Viewing cable 06HANOI429, VIETNAM: Palestine, and Iraq Bombings

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. #06HANOI429.

1. (SBU) Nguyen Diep Ha, desk officer in the Foreign 
Ministry's West Asia and Africa Department, told Poloff 
February 23 that Vietnam "respects the decision of the 
Palestinian people's choice to elect Hamas" and predicted 
that Hamas will "represent the Palestinian people well and 
will act in their best interests."  No one from the 
Palestinian authority or Hamas has recently suggested 
meeting with any representative from the GVN, she said, but 
if such a meeting is requested, Vietnam will consider U.S. 
views.  Vietnam has relatively good relations with the PA 
(Ref B). 
 
2. (SBU) Americas Desk officer Le Dung subsequently told 
Poloff that Vietnam will definitely make a statement on the 
mosque bombing (Ref C), but the timing and content of the 
statement have yet to be determined.  Poloff provided copies 
of the Statement by the President and the Joint Statement by 
Ambassador Khalilzad and General Casey.
