1. (SBU) Supplementing two earlier demarches to the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Post and Telematics (Refs B and
C),Econ/C delivered talking points and color campaign brochure (Ref
A) to VISHIPEL Deputy Director Mr. Phan Ngoc Quang on September 20.
VISHIPEL is the state-owned enterprise designated to represent the
Government of Vietnam (GVN) in the International Mobile Satellite
Organization (IMSO). Econ/C strongly encouraged VISHIPEL to provide
Vietnam's vote for Mr. Steven Lett's candidacy to be Director of the
IMSO, underscoring the high-level interest in this vote within the
U.S. Government. Quang responded that, while VISHIPEL had not
committed to a particular candidate, in principle it has "no
objection to supporting" Lett to head IMSO. Mr. Quang said that
VISHIPEL will not attend the IMSO Assembly of Parties, but will
submit its vote via a proxy form to the organization.
2. (SBU) Comment: Although Quang stopped short of a solid promise,
his tone was positive and encouraging.
