	Vietnam - FOREIGN RELATIONS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Until the fall of the South Vietnamese government in 1975, the VCP considered foreign policy interests to be subordinate to the overriding issue of national liberation and reunification.
		Among the more pressing were its relations with Laos, Cambodia, China, the Soviet Union, the member nations of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and the West.
		Ideological and nationalist goals thus were often interchangeable, and Vietnamese foreign policy could be construed as serving national interests and international communism at the same time.

	Foreign Affairs - U.S.-Vietnam Relations and the Security of Southeast Asia - Franklin B. Weinstein
		The dispatch of the Woodcock mission to Hanoi and, in May 1977, the initiation of discussions with the Vietnamese in Paris seemed to foreshadow the early establishment of ties with Hanoi.
		He is the author of Indonesian Foreign Policy and the Dilemma of Dependence: From Sukarno to Soeharto and the editor of U.S.-Japan Relations and the Security of East Asia: The Next Decade.
		He believes the Vietnamese see nothing to be gained from cooperation with their neighbors, and he describes the view that close relations with Vietnam are crucial to stability and security in Southeast Asia as a "fixation" of the Japanese and, perhaps, a few Americans.
