Thieu Rejects Paris Talks With Viet Cong Arm
President Nguyen Van Thieu said South Vietnam will not attend Paris peace talks next week. He argued only direct Hanoi Saigon negotiations can end the war and warned against recognizing the Viet Cong National Liberation Front as a separate negotiating party. Thieu’s stance foreshadows a four way Paris meeting with NLF and U.S. backing, despite Washington’s bombing halt. The North Vietnamese radio said the puppet South Vietnamese government is not recognized. Thieu insisted talks must be with Hanoi and refused any coalition framework. He added the Republic of Vietnam cannot attend talks on November 6 as spoken by President Johnson.
