Vietnamese, US war veterans meet A high-level meeting between the Vietnam War Veterans Association (VWVA) and the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) has been arranged in Hanoi. This was the 15th meeting between the two organisations in seven years. The VWVA delegation to the meeting was led by Lieutenant General Vu Xuan Vinh, permanent executive member of the VVA Central Committee, and the VVA delegation, by VVA special advisor Bill Duker. The two delegations discussed ways to continue bilateral co-operation on the issue of servicemen from both sides still missing in action (MIA). The US side spoke highly of Vietnam's effective support and help in the search for Americans missing in action and handed over to the Vietnamese side dossiers relating to Vietnamese soldiers missing in action during the war. Mr Vinh said he appreciated the US provision of new information on Vietnamese MIAs and spoke of Vietnam's efforts to continue its co-operation with the US side in the MIA issue in a humanitarian spirit. He also urged the US government to pay more attention to solving the consequences of Agent Orange chemical sprayed in Vietnam by the US during the war. Referring to the September 6 endorsement of the so-called 'Vietnam Human Rights Act' by the US House of Representatives, Mr Vinh said the endorsement has triggered indignation among the Vietnamese people including war veterans as the act has distorted the real situation in Vietnam. _________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------- This Discussion List is the follow-up for the old stopnato @listbot.com that has been shut down ==^================================================================ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.a9spWA Or send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email was sent to: archive@jab.org T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
