2.1.1. U.S.-Vietnam RelationsRaymond F. Burghardt, U.S. Ambassador to VietnamRemarks to the Asia SocietyWashington, DCJanuary 21, 2003 Thank you for this opportunity to meet again with members of the Asia Society and to share some of my views about U.S. relations with Vietnam. I've been back in Vietnam now for a little more than one year and this is a good occasion to give a summary of the state of our bilateral relationships. I'm especially pleased to speak with you today in light of the upcoming 13th Annual Asian Corporate Conference that will take place in Hanoi in early March; I hope some of you will be able to attend. Meetings at the leadership level well indicate the state of a relationship. We now see regular exchanges between US and Vietnam. For example, Foreign Minister Nien visited Washington and New York last September. We welcome the possibility of Minister of Defense Tra traveling to the U.S. within the next year, and we hope that at least one Deputy Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister will also visit. Last year, the Embassy hosted a number of large Congressional and private sector trade delegations and we look forward to hosting even more this year. The Asia Society Corporate Conference in March will also greatly help push the relationship forward -- this event will bring a number of well respected and high level folks from both the private sector and government from the U.S. and other regional partners. ... I look forward to seeing some of you in Hanoi and thank you for your attention. 2.1.2. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests. It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Da Nang Royal Hotel for the 2007 meeting of the meteorological society. My name is Terry Moss and I’m the coordinator of strategy of the London weather centre in England. Our focus over the next two days is to inform and advise delegates on management strategies when dealing with natural disasters such as flooding and typhoons. We are all very much aware of recent events in Vietnam. Flooding across the central region over recent months has of course caused great damage to both property and crops, and it is events like this that we have to manage and possibly prevent in the future. The region also suffered a typhoon only twelve months ago and again the devastation and damage to infrastructure was vast, and we believe, preventable. It is our aim today to share ideas with delegates regarding the prediction and monitoring of major weather events. We will consider ways to monitor increasing weather patterns with precision and certainty, look at ways of informing authorities across the region of imminent weather conditions, and finally, review national policy on responding efficiently to events of serious magnitude. 2.1.3. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. It is my great pleasure to welcome all delegates here today at the start of the eighth annual Family Planning Conference. My name is Margaret Steel and I’m the Chief Medical Examiner for the World Health Organization (WHO). It’s the first time the WHO has officially organized this event, but having seen and been impressed by its success over the past seven years, we were more than delighted to get involved with such a worthwhile project. We at the WHO recognize the need for family planning in developing countries. We fully support the strategies that the Vietnamese authorities have implemented in their quest for the further development of this society. 2.1.4. My name is Laura Spencer, and I’m the vice principal of the university. And it’s my pleasure to welcome you all here today to the foreign languages department for the third annual meeting of the BSA – British Schools in Asia. The main focus over the next three days will be on new strategies to enhance the teaching of English as a foreign language for our students. Population control is a fundamental concern for any nation that intends to control its rate of development. The Vietnamese government has taken decisive measures in this regard, and their commitment to controlling the population levels and thus reducing the financial strain on the welfare state is a testament to their desire for increased economic productivity and living standards.
