Viewing cable 08HANOI1359, DEMARCHE DELIVERED: UNSC SOMALIA PIRACY RESOLUTION

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: DEMARCHE DELIVERED: UNSC SOMALIA PIRACY RESOLUTION 
 
REF: STATE 130496 
 
(SBU) On December 15, the Ambassador delivered reftel points to Vice 
Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh, urging Vietnam to support a new 
UNSCR on Somali piracy at the UNSC Ministerial December 16.  VFM 
Minh acknowledged that robust action was necessary to combat piracy, 
but said that Vietnam's UN Mission had reservations about operative 
paragraph four, which it would relate directly in discussions in New 
York.  Before Vietnam comes to a position on the proposed new 
resolution, it would weigh heavily the briefing from Somalia's 
Foreign Minister on December 16.
