US boosts military ties with Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia
ຈອນນີ
Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia as part of a deepening relationship with
Southeast Asia amid competition for influence from China, officials
said.
The United States and Laos, they said, plan to exchange military
attaches by the end of the year as part of the strategy aimed at
beefing up defense links with the trio in the heart of a once central
Cold War battleground.
Three years after resuming full military ties with Indonesia soured by
human rights concerns, "we are beginning to develop those same kind of
ties with Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia," deputy US assistant secretary
of state Scot Marciel said.
"We are starting off small -- doing some training, some exchanges
which we think are very useful," he said.
"And by the end of this year, we and the Lao government will open
defense attache offices in each other's capitals, which is a big step,
an important step," Marciel, the US ambassador to the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), said at a Washington forum last week.
Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia were latecomers to ASEAN together with
Myanmar.
The other ASEAN states are Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the
Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.
US officials rejected any notion that the move to build military ties
with Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos was to check China's rising influence
in Southeast Asia, saying it was part of broadening the overall
relationship.
"It doesn't really signify more than that," said a senior State
Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
China is rapidly building up its military and could challenge
traditional US naval dominance in the region, experts say, citing
among other examples, Beijing's setting up of a new underground
nuclear submarine base on the southern tip of Hainan Island, close to
vital sea lanes in Southeast Asia.
Unlike many other Southeast Asian states which have substantial
military ties with the United States, "we havent had that so much with
Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia because of the history," the State
Department official said, referring to the Vietnam War.
As the conflict escalated between the United States and Vietnam,
neighbors Laos and Cambodia became increasingly involved in the war.
The Ho Chi Minh Trail -- a supply route from North to South Vietnam
that the United States wanted to cut -- passed through both countries.
US officials said they were looking at expanding an international
military education and training program in Vietnam, now confined
largely to ship visits and a modest English language teching project
for Vietnamese military officers.
The former battlefield enemies exchanged defense military attaches in
the mid 1990's after Hanoi cooperated in accounting for missing
Americans from the Vietnam War.
US defense ties in Laos also centered on the recovery of soldiers
missing.
China is fast emerging as a top economic player in Cambodia and Laos.
In Cambodia, where the 1975-1979 communist Khmer Rouge regime was
backed by Beijing, China is the largest foreign donor.
"It is a fact that China is growing economically and playing a more
active role in much of the world, certainly including in Southeast
Asia, but we don't see this as a zero sum game," Marciel said.

Johny,
do you think this is a dream. Please wake me up. What a major
development step that US and Lao are able to come to this shaky
conclusion but you know what. For now we, the laonork, may have
thousand of military personnel, tank driver, military technician,
officer, misile guide luncher, F14, F16, Commercial pilot etc..... to
fly over phian din lao like a hawk watching a little chicken. Is this
a little scary thought but don't worry.

Congratulations
Lao PDR has military attaché in Russia, India, China and four other
neighbouring countries and now will exchange military officers with US
that’s clear now it would make Laos one of the most secured countries
from the threatening of outside war. It's all over for those who had
long day dream of seeing Laos changed violently.

Viets got English lesson instead.
American choose democratic Kingdom of Cambodia. UsA warships dock off
Cambodia ports for the past years.
UsA has also given the Kingdom of Cambodia 24 military vehicles and a
generous 54.6 millions of USAID every year.
commu lao got 3 million dollars for looking for the MIA. and some
toward OXO clearance... and millions of left over deadly bombs and
scrap metal..
in whatever way history will repeat itself....those country who
refuse to change will remain backward.
the Kingdom of Cambodia has got the right formula and in 10 years
times will be top. what you sow is what you reap..if 3/4 of it's
citizen approve the democratic system it a sign of great things to
come.
commi viet and commu lao is trap in communist crap...

your resources? Where did you get the idea that I work for LPDR? If
you are the man that you brag you are, then why don't you have me
followed 24/7 the way you are having ai Yong followed 24/7?
While you accuse me of having residence at 2222 S St, NW are you
indirectly tarnishing the good work of the Embassy personel? Why are
you recklessly accussing this wih no merit? and you accused me of
"ທ່ານຂຽນບົດຊະຊາຍ"? Aren't you doing that right now by bringing the

You are an idiot.
