lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I was chairman of the Vietnam Friendship Society in my country in the 1980s. I see that there has been rapid economic development in the country, in the last 10 years especially. The new generations speak of it: those who have no personal experience of US aggression in Vietnam. As an old friend of Vietnam, I, along with the other groups in the European Parliament, want to focus attention on the need to respect human rights and freedom of organisation, expression and religion in the spirit of the UN declarations and conventions. Our group’s resolution calls for the release of Buddhist leaders Thich Huyen Quang and Thich Quang Don from what we consider to be groundless imprisonment. We think that Vietnam should liberalise its policy on minorities. The EU should also work to promote cooperation with Vietnam. Although oil has been discovered in Vietnam, it is not a western oil and gas reserve, and so political rights and human rights may be brought to the fore, unlike, for example, when working with Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan."@en1
