Transcript

Address before an international symposium sponsored by The Los Angeles Times, the Times Mirror Company, and the Asia Society in Los Angeles on September 8, 1989. Mr. Solomon is Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs. It's a pleasure and honor to join here with friends and colleagues in this impressive display of interest in Indochina. It is a telling sign of the times that this gathering is taking place now and here in Los Angeles, one of the great cities of the Pacific rim.

Contemporary Asia's economic dynamism and political ferment highlight global transformations that are shaping the world we will know in the 21st century. Secretary of State Baker has succinctly characterized these trends as an increasingly integrated global economy based on an open market trading system sparked by spectacular technological change, the failure of communism as an economic and political system, and a worldwide trend toward democracy and free enterprise.

Would that the realization of these trends was without conflict and evenly accomplished Yet, as we know, development is an arduous process characterized by conflict, uneven growth, and setbacks as a new era strains to break through the constraints of the old. Asia's explosive economic growth and political ferment have yielded dramatic successes, as in the Philippines and South Korea, where intense social pressures shattered authoritarian political orders and brought forth democratic reform. Yet in Burma, and more recently in China, we have seen how uncertain and painful the rites of passage to a new era can be.

What do these forces for change mean for Indochina? Does Vietnam's announced intention to end its occupation of Cambodia signal a major shift in policy? Or do old suspicions, old ambitions, and old ideologies still hold sway? The inconclusive results of the recent Paris conference on Cambodia leave us with an ambiguous picture of the future. Progress on the international aspects of a settlement contrasts with the inability, thus far, to construct a process of internal political reconciliation.

Tonight, I would like to share with you some thoughts on the prospects for peace in Indochina and about U.S. policy toward the region.

The Cambodian, Vietnamese and Laotian governments are speeding up border demarcations between the three countries in order to create a "triangle economic zone" on the border in Cambodia's Ratanakiri province.

The agreement draws strong criticism from the Cambodian oppositions as they think that to demarcate the borders in such a hurry, without proper consultation and studies, would cause Cambodia to lose territory.

Last Thursday, 16th June, the Cambodian parliament voted to support the agreement with 83 MPs out of 100 MPs attended supporting it.

Mr. Var Kimhong, Cambodian chairman of Border Committee, said this is a historic agreement. "This convention is the fairest basis for the three countries to create a peaceful and cooperative triangle economic zone", he said.

Assembly Approves Triple-Country Convention

The law passed with 83 votes from the Cambodian People’s Party, zero from the Sam Rainsy Party and a boycott from the Human Rights Party.

“If we pass it, it means that we recognize it. So we are also responsible for the history.”

Cambodia’s ruling party on Thursday approved a regional convention that would set up a joint development area between Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, but which opposition critics argue would cede land to Vietnam.

The law passed with 83 votes from the Cambodian People’s Party, zero from the Sam Rainsy Party and a boycott from the Human Rights Party.

The law would set up a special economic zone and would require the placement of a border marker stone at the intersection of all three countries.

Supporters of the law said it will help create a development area for four provinces in Cambodia’s northeast, as well as neighboring provinces of Laos and Vietnam.
