Vietnam prefers dollars to anti-colonial rhetoric in trade push
Vietnam's economy struggles as imports of 492.5 million from seven partners far exceed exports of 116.2 million. With a new five-year plan, aid from World Bank and IMF totals 36 million, while Soviet loans are cautious and terms favor output for them. Western diplomats urge focus on substance behind rhetoric as Vietnam seeks detente and potential US engagement. Vietnam continues to aid Laos and deploys troops to bolster Pathet Lao against insurgents.
