United States Declined North Vietnamese Secret Paris Meeting Offer
North Vietnamese documents claim Hanoi offered to send Minister Xuan Thuy to a Paris meeting with Henry Kissinger on Nov 20, but the United States declined seeking a higher ranking Communist official. The plan collapsed when Le Duc Tho fell ill, conflicting with Nixon’s Jan 25 national address outlining an eight point peace proposal and Kissinger’s secret talks in Paris. The article notes two months passed with Hanoi’s response limited to broader troop movements and offensives in Laos and other theaters.
