Kinh tế, chính trị luôn song hành do vậy em post bài này vào mục OSFI và không có ý định đùa cợt! Một lời nói của Ngoại trưởng bất kể quốc gia nào luôn kèm theo những thông điệp mà đôi khi cả người nghe trong cuộc cũng phải vắt óc để nghĩ. Để hiểu thêm về ngôn từ ngoại giao đề nghị các cụ Google thêm về Cục Lễ Tân Nhà nước và các văn bản quy định rõ ràng từ nội dung, chủ đề, từ ngữ. (ví dụ:

Em không sa đà và tranh luận cũng như cắt nghĩa với các user như Viet Xuan, vì có nói họ cũng chẳng hiểu thêm cái gì. Nhanh nhất là cho vào block user đỡ phải mất công đọc comments
Em đánh dấu một số đoạn mark vàng ở dưới. Để hiểu rõ hơn xin đọc phần background tóm tắt nội dung và tinh thần của buổi họp của đoàn ngoại giao Mỹ tại Việt Nam qua link chính thức của BNG HK

<span style=""color: #ffffff;"">Dành cho các cụ thích nhảy vào phần kết luận: (i) trừ phi có gì đó khác đi trong Q3, bằng không hãy quên đi một giấc mơ với nước và bánh phở cho tô Chín-Nam, và (ii) dự án mua cá chọi thả bể và chim ưng đậu trên vườn nhà cũng vứt mẹ nó đi dù tiền không phải là vấn đề!

Thank you so much, David. Well, that was a long time ago. But who knows where the people out here on this meet and greet line will be in 16 years, David, and I want to thank you for your tireless, dedicated service to our country and all that you’re doing to improve and broaden and deepen our relations with Vietnam and the people of Vietnam.
I remember talking with you last October about how excited you were to be coming to Vietnam, and <span style=""background-color: #ffff99;"">you put together that video greeting even before you arrived, which reached 20 million Vietnamese viewers. And I know you’re still trying to figure out how you’re going to reach the other 67 million at least</span>. (Laughter.)
But it is exciting to be here on my third visit as Secretary of State. And the reason I keep coming back is because we think that there is an <span style=""background-color: #ffff99;"">enormous amount of potential in our relationship</span>. And I want to be sure <span style=""background-color: #ffff99;"">we’re doing everything we can to explore how far we can go</span>. Just yesterday, I think we’ve demonstrated once again we’ve reached a<span style=""background-color: #ffff99;""> level of engagement that would have been unimaginable only a few years ago</span>. We have two-way trade reaching $22 billion, increasing every year, working on everything from HIV/AIDS to disaster relief to trafficking in persons to recovering the remains of our soldiers. And <span style=""background-color: #ffff99;"">our military-to-military ties, as evidenced by Secretary Panetta’s very successful visit, are also intensifying</span>. We are working toward a strategic partnership agreement that will give us a framework to deepen and broaden this engagement.
But none of it would be possible without the energy and enthusiasm and the expertise of this team and your colleagues throughout Vietnam. <span style=""background-color: #ffff99;"">When you launch programs that show farmers how to get more productivity out of their land</span>, you’re helping them not only feed their families but earn more money and<span style=""background-color: #ffff99;""> continue to rise into the middle class</span>. When you <span style=""background-color: #ffff99;"">connect Vietnamese companies with American investments, you’re helping to create jobs back home</span> and produce economic growth for both countries. When you talk to students about opportunities to study abroad, you’re helping build bridges between our people, and with <span style=""background-color: #ffff99;"">very tangible results</span>, because I can remember back in the Clinton Administration, which is when I first met you all those years ago in Tokyo, just 800 Vietnamese were studying in the United States. Today 15,000 are, and we would like to double, triple, quadruple that number in the years ahead.
Now, look, I understand <span style=""background-color: #ffff99;"">your work is not always easy</span>. There are<span style=""background-color: #ffff99;""> issues of government control and censorship</span> that you have to work through and over and around every single day. It makes your jobs and your lives more difficult. We raise these issues and concerns in every single meeting that we have with Vietnamese officials and we will continue to raise them, because we happen to believe it’s not only part of American values, it’s universal values. The Declaration of Universal Human Rights is not just for Americans or Westerners. It’s for Asians and Vietnamese and everyone else. So we make the argument that as economic progress continues the opening of political expression and political space, the protection and respect for human rights is absolutely essential.
And I know that where you work has an impact on how you work. Being separated from each other can make it harder to operate as a team, and we’re going to keep working to finalize agreements for a new embassy compound. That is something we’ve been focused on and hopefully someday soon people will be able to work in one state-of-the-art location.
I want to say a special word of thanks to our locally employed staff. Ambassadors come and go, Secretaries come and go, but the locally employed staff here in Vietnam, like those around the world, are really the memory bank and the experience base for everything that we do, and we are very grateful that you’re part of this team.
So again, let me thank you and let me thank you especially for having to organize and implement three separate trips from me, the Secretary of Defense, and a continuous stream of high-level officials. I know it’s always extra work when that occurs, but we are deeply grateful, because we want to show at a high and visible level the importance we place on this relationship. So again, thank you very much, and let me shake some hands. Thank you, David. (Applause.)
