a reception in Hanoi on March 19 for Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) of the US Vincent “B.J” Lawrence.
Chien briefed the guests about people-to-people diplomacy activities of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations and the VUS and the humanitarian support programme between the two countries, especially the recovery from the consequences of war-era landmines, issues regarding Agent Orange/dioxin victims, and the search for remains of missing US servicemen in Vietnam.
He reviewed important milestones in Vietnam – US diplomatic ties in peacetime, the role of the VUS and mass organisations in promoting bilateral ties.
Lawrence, who is in Vietnam from March 18-22, said the visit affords him a chance to learn about Vietnam’s post-war recovery and development, the country and its people.
In 1991, the VFW sent representatives to the delegations of the US Congressmen and ex-veterans to Vietnam to discuss the search for the US servicemen missing in action.
It also sends delegations to Vietnam each year to learn about the country’s situation, the Vietnam – US relations, and especially dealing with the search for missing Vietnamese and US soldiers during the war.-VNA
