Viewing cable 06HANOI1255, IRAN/NAM: Demarche Delivered to Vietnam

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

SUBJECT:  IRAN/NAM: Demarche Delivered to Vietnam 
 
REF: STATE 83239 
 
1. (SBU) Senior Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials have 
been completely tied up with the visit of UN Secretary 
General Kofi Annan, so Poloff delivered reftel demarche 
January 20 to Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Arms 
Control Expert Vu Van Mien.  Mien is responsible for 
drafting the papers on Iran for Foreign Minister Nguyen Dzy 
Nien's use at the upcoming NAM Ministerial in Kuala Lumpur. 
 
2. (SBU) Mien made two points: Vietnam's policy on opposing 
proliferation of nuclear weapons has not changed, but the 
United States should be careful in how it describes the 
IAEA's conclusions.  True, Mien said, the IAEA has 
documented Iran's failure to cooperate, but failure to 
cooperate is a significant step short of concluding that 
Iran is developing a nuclear weapons program. 
 
3. (SBU) Mien said that he will put the U.S. demarche on FM 
Nien's desk today, and that the United States can expect 
that the GVN will consider its position on Iran carefully. 
Iran has proposed a resolution for consideration by the NAM, 
Mien noted, but the GVN's assessment of Iran's resolution is 
that "its chance of passing is slim."
