Reformist leads Vietnam’s party
BANGKOK. June 27: Do Muoi. who as premier played a key role in Vietnam's 5-year-old economic reform programme, took over as chief of the Communist Party on Thursday and technocrats moved to its upper ranks, reports AP.
The official Voice of Vietnam radio said the seventh national party congress chose Do Muoi. 74. as party general secretary to succeed Nguyen Van Unh. who turns 76 on July 1 Diplomats said Unh wanted to retire because he was ailing.
Unh Is an economic prag matist who became party chief at the 1986 congress and Immediately began the reform programme in a watershed break with a decade of failed orthodox socialism.
As predicted, Linh and five other members of the 12-member party Politburo were dropped. Those dropped Included President Vo Chi Cong, Foreign Minister Nguyen Co Thach and Interior Minister Mal Chi Tho. They were expected to relinquish their government posts later.
Among those brought into the new 13-menfoer Politburo was Pham Van Khal. the re spected technocrat and pragmatist heading the State Planning Commission
The changes were made at the close of the four-day congress in Hanoi
Meanwhile. Reuter from Hanoi reports Vietnam's urbane Foreign Minister Nguyen Co Thach, who helped show the world a new. more liberal side to Hanoi's dour, old com munlsts. announced his resignation today and his departure from the ruling politburo.
Thach. 68, told a news conference in Hanoi hours before the close of a Communist Party congress that he was retiring of his own free will. His reslg nation had been widely expected.
"1 am withdrawing from the politburo out of my own per sonal wishes.' he said. Thatch admitted he had not wanted to be foreign minister when he was appointed In 1980
Thach sharply criticised the United States and Japan for their policies that had kept Vietnam isolated and denied the country desperately needed development and aid
That articulate northerner, fluent tn French and English, has been criticised by pollt buro members for falling to normalise relations with former enemies, the United States and China.
Washington has maintained a trade embargo against Hanoi since it lost the Vietnam war in 1975. China and the United States have said Vietnam had to do more to end the conflict between the Phnom Penh gov emment and a guerilla coalition before they would normalise ties
Washington said in 1988 it would normalise relations if Hanoi withdrew from Cambodia. Hanoi withdrew its troops in 1989.
"But after we have effectively withdrawn our troops from Cambodia, the United States said it would normalise relations after we found a settlement to Cambodia." he said.
"We very highly appreciate the very rich imagination of some Americans. But rm afraid that once these conditions are fulfilled, the Americans might think of some new conditions," he said.
Thach said he told Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Nakayama in Hanoi this month that Japan could do more to help Vietnam. Nakayama told Thach Tokyo would give Hanoi a lot of aid once It helped solve the Cambodian problem.
"1 have told the Japanese foreign minister that the Vietnamese are poor, but they are not beggars." Thach said, since 2.5 million Vietnamese starved to death in 1946 under Japanese occupation, Tokyo was not entitled to make demands on Vietnam.
"The Japanese have no right to raise such conditions. We. the Vietnamese, do have the right to raise such conditions.' he said, raising his voice Irr a rare display of emotion.
He said there was encouraging movement to improve relations with Beijing and Washington, although barely visible.
He praised China for its new helpful role on Cambodia. "China’s recent change tn position is indeed positive." he said In an apparent reference to Beijing’s tacit approval of new agreements between Chinese-backed guerillas and the Cambodian government to form a national reconciliation body.
He said Vietnam's troops used to be the problem in Cambodia but now it was how to prevent brutal Khmer Rouge leaders ousted in 1979 from returning to power.
Hanoi diplomats said recently they thought It ironic that Thach, the politburo member best able to communicate with the West, had fallen victim to US policy.
