Pacifists attacked by half truths says Vietnamese envoy in Canberra
Vietnamese ambassador to Australia Tron Kim Phuong told a Canberra crowd at the Korea and South East Asia Forum that pacifists are swayed by Communist half truths and lies.

A Southeast Asia pilgrimage may mark the 10th anniversary of the Korean War with expo plans and travel across Korea and Southeast Asia.
