North Viet Premier Sees Four-Point Demands as Peace Basis
Premier Pham Van Dong says Hanoi's four-point demands form a basis for settlement rather than required peace talks. He cites recognition of Vietnam’s rights to peace, independence, sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity, Geneva 1954 terms, South Vietnam affairs settled by the Vietnamese people per the National Liberation Front, and reunification without foreign interference. He urges Washington to take the first step and urges patience as the situation ripens.
