1. (SBU) On November 8, Poloff discussed reftel points on the Cuba
embargo resolution and the Australian amendment with MFA
International Organizations Department Deputy Director Vu Anh Quang.
Mr. Quang said the GVN position is consistent with the majority of
countries that support the Cuba embargo resolution. He added that
the Australian proposal was new information and that he did not have
a definitive decision yet. He needs to study it more carefully and
make a report to MFA leadership.
2. (SBU) Mr. Quang then offered his personal view that the UN is not
a tribune or forum for countries to exert pressure in the area of
human rights. Rather, the GVN supports dialogue and cooperation in
order to resolve different views concerning human rights and
democracy issues.
