The repeated threats made by Beijing of a"second lesson" to Vietnam and the continued military and financial support of the remnants of the Pol Pot regime, thanks to the Thai complicity, emphasized the seriousness of the situation. Ttiis was also emphasized by Vietnamese leaders, who did not try to con- ceal the dangers and hardships impose3 on Vietnam by the constant Chinese threats to Vietnam, Laos and Kampuchea, as well as the pressures and blackmail exerted by other countries in the region. When I asked Prime Minister Pham Van Dong to explain the Vietnamese long range objectives in Southeast Asia, i.n view of Beijing's accusations of Hanoi's expansionist aims in the region, he assured me that ''Beijing's slander; do not surprise me." "It is the usual tactic of the thtef who cries 'thief,' The people in - the region are well acquainted with China`s expansionist aims toward Vietnam, Laos and Kampuchea and other countries in Southeast Asia. It is the continuation of a traditional policy followed by several Chinese feudal dynasties. Regarding the Vietna~ese ~,pople, their grinciple continues to be Ho Chi ;Kinh's s.togan: "Nothing is more precious than freedom and independence." The more we love our independence and freedom, the more we love that of other people. \ 1 - FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY ~ APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000300010003-4 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02148: CIA-RDP82-44850R000300014403-4 ~ FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY With its successes and its firm opposition to the Chinese expansionist policy, our people have preserved their independence and freedom and at the same time have helped to safeguard that of other countries in Southeast Asia. The most fervent desire of the Vietnamese soc~alist republic government _ and people is to do th e utmost to ccnsolidate and develop cordial rela- - tior.s of goodneighborliness and multilateral cooperation with the countries in Southeast Asia, and to jointly build a region of peace, prosper~*_y and stability. ' Our policy is that of peace and friendship with all countries both far - and near, including the Chinese people. This will be the last word ' against all the attacks and aggressiens of imperialism and expansionism. ` Regarding the main tasks and priorities in Vietnam, bearing in mind the repeated Chinese threats, backed by the deployment of 20 infantry divisions alang the two countries' border and the building of airports within 7 minutes flying time of Hanoi, Premier Pham Van Dong told us: "We have before us two especially important tasks: to build socialism success- fully; and to efficiently defend the socialist country. Each Vietnamese . is at the same time a fighter in the production front and in national defense. These are glorious and diff:cult tasks which our people have carried out historically with honor. If one goes back into history, one sees how our people have developed in all fields during their struggle against the northern aggressor and in the defense of the fatherland. . In terms of the existing world situation, the Vietnamese people work - tenaciously in the building of the socialist country, with a modern agriculture, industry, science and advanced technology, to build a civilized and happy system. We have man~ problems to overcome but our - people are intelligent, hard-working, courageous and wi11 make good use of the country's abur.dant resources. We trust our forces, try to obtain ' the support of friends all over the world and are convinced that we shall triumph in the mission of buiiding socialism and defending the - fatherland for the good of the people and the interest of peace, national independence, democracy and social progress in the whole world." In spite of huge ~aterial diffi.culties, the Vietnamese people's army _ was withdrawn from mar~y construct~on projects to defend our borders and a large amount of our manpower was diverted to defense projecLS. To my question on whether. the Vietnamese people could continue suffering these hardships after so many years of sacrifices, Pham Van Dong ~ replied: "Our peeple see things panoramically. There are many problems after 35 years of war when ae struggle against French colonialism, ~ U.S. imperi3lism, including the destruction caused by their air force, and later against Chinese aggression. - 2 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000300010003-4 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02148: CIA-RDP82-44850R000300014403-4 FGR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Our people know that we are doing everything possible to find just solu- *_ions to our problems with China which does everything possible to creat e more problems. Even if the Chinese are unable to launch another war, they do everything possible to cause problems for our already retaided economy, further weakened by a series of natural disasters. We do everything possible to overcome problems, and our people know it. We need time, but we are pressed because our situation demands rapid solutions and changes, especially in material conditions. Regarding the vast campaign waged against Vietnam in the Western world- - a campaign in which China is participating--Pham Van Dong said: "What else can we expect? This campaign is waged by those who were de- feated at Dien Bien Phu, in the long resister~ce wars, by the Ho Chi Minh campaign and in the Chinese invasion. These are the ones who were defeated in Kampuchea and in Laos and who have been defeated all over the world. They are just a coalition of defeated imperialist~ and expansionists which in fact do not concern us much. CSO: 4408 3 FOR OFFICIAY.
