Vive Vietnam-USA friendship!! The USA has many, many very successful Vietnamese-American citizens. These new Americans would love for their country (the USA) to be a peaceful economic and strategic partner with Vietnam. There is no good reason that iphones, and many other high-tech American designed products, couldn't be manufactured in Vietnam instead of China. Let's make it happen!! Who needs China?? Let the Chinese trade with themselves ......

Well, China, the largest foreign holder of United States debt, said that Washington needed to "cure its addiction to debts" and "live within its means."( year-2011)
Yeah, who needs China?

Global financial crisis is not an old story & i'm just supposing that it was a short term memory malfunction.

Holding a G7 meeting without China today is like expecting the League of Nations without the US to tackle totalitarianism in the 1930s.

Vietnamese Distinguished Visitors Tour George Washington

Distinguished visitors from Vietnam on board of USS George Washington

USS GEORGE WASHINGTON, At Sea (NNS) -- Distinguished visitors from Vietnam visited the U.S. Navy's forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) for a tour of the ship, Oct. 20.

Fourteen representatives from the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi, and military officials and business leaders toured the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier's navigation bridge, combat directions center, air operations, hangar bay and flight deck to better understand U.S. aircraft carrier operations and the crew.

Although George Washington has never conducted a port visit to Vietnam, this was not the first time the ship had Vietnamese visitors aboard; George Washington had the opportunity to host visitors from Vietnam in 2011.

"We are partnered with all nations with the intention to work together to provide maritime security for the world," said Capt. Carlos Sardiello, George Washington's executive officer. "We are always happy to have the opportunity to host the citizens of Vietnam on our ship."

While touring the ship, the group was also escorted by four Sailors of Vietnamese descent stationed aboard George Washington.

"To actually see Vietnamese citizens come on to our ship and get to speak with them was a great opportunity that we don't get very often," said Machinist's Mate 3rd Class Quan Tran, from Baltimore. "They were interested to know about our lives about the ship and exactly what it is that we do."

The visitors spoke with both high and low ranking members of the George Washington crew to better understand the ties and common goal of security and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.

Upon their departure, the visitors extended their deepest thanks to the crew of the George Washington and expressed hopes that the aircraft carrier could make a future visit to Vietnam in order to foster ties between the two countries.

"I give kudos to everyone on the ship who work together to make something so amazing and gigantic work in order to protect this region," said An T. Le, consul general for the U.S. Consulate General, Ho Chi Minh City. "The fact that 5,500 Sailors can all work so cohesively is extremely impressive."

George Washington is the flagship of the George Washington Carrier Strike Group (GWCSG), the U.S. Navy's only continuously forward-deployed carrier strike group operating out of Yokosuka, Japan. GWCSG is currently conducting a routine patrol in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations.

The US Navy clearly wants access to Cam Ranh bay at regular basis. That said the US Defence Minister at the last visit to Vietnam. The VN government should allow it.

do you think the russians will be happy about that?

We are a sovereign nation, we decide based on own national interests.

But I think before the VN government makes a decision, it will take all other factors from other major players including China, America, India, Japan and of course Russia into the consideration.
As a small nation it is not easy for us to do what we want to do. China is the main factor behind all vietnamese thinkings.

Anyway I think the Russians will not oppose the deal.

Out of somebody's logic...
So what the entire world believes, and is true by definition, is someone's logic. And even than you could not properly correct yourself, as India has 4 maritime neighbors, or so the world believe.
I am sure Macao's educational system is better than that, why give it a bad name?

Believe what. Someone was talking about "foes", so I join his topic and also talk about "foes".
You are a funny guy with a weird mind, my lovely friend.

Mr.Bengal is India's foe? Can you tell what Mr.Bengal has in military arsenal specific to address Indian threat?

You haven't read the second sentence.

HA NOI (VNS) — Viet Nam hopes ASEAN and China can soon start official negotiations on a Code of Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (COC), which will contribute to maintaining peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Luong Thanh Nghi said while responding to questions on Viet Nam's viewpoints over Indonesia's draft COC at the ministry's regular press briefing in Ha Noi on October 25.

Nghi also said that ASEAN has been accelerating official consultations between ASEAN and China for the building of a COC. ASEAN Foreign Ministers approved all the necessary documents in July. Indonesia has made a draft with more specific and detailed contents, Nghi said, which ASEAN countries will continue to discuss.

At the press briefing, the spokesperson also announced that Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev would visit Viet Nam from November 6-7.

Nghi said this would be a particularly important visit given that the two countries have lifted their relationship to the level of a comprehensive strategic partnership.

It is expected that the two sides will discuss measures to further enhance their ties as well as international and regional issues of mutual concern. — VNS
