Poloff delivered the diplomatic note and aide memoire to the
Vietnam Ministry of Foreign Affairs Department of International
Organizations on September 23, 2009. Mr. Khong Hoang Khoi, IMO

Ministry of Transport, who will consider all requests for Vietnam's
support from countries seeking election or re-election to the IMO

recommendations across the Government of Vietnam in order to make a
determination of support in time for the IMO Assembly in London.

re-election of the United States to Category A membership on the
Council.
