US Secretary of State revisits old battlefields in Vietnam

Mr. Kerry will also meet and talk with students of Ca Mau Community College.

At around 12 noon on December 15, US Secretary of State Kerry arrived at Kien Vang hamlet wharf, Rach Goc town, Ngoc Hien district (Ca Mau) and gave a speech there. He also visited the old battlefield in the Mekong Delta.

At 11:00 a.m., the US Ambassador to Vietnam was standing at the pier waiting for the Secretary of State.

Many people, students and local leaders gathered at Kien Vang hamlet wharf to listen to the speech of US Secretary of State John Kerry.

Today, December 15, Mr. Kerry officially visited Ca Mau.

The US Secretary of State will deliver a speech at a wharf in Kien Vang hamlet, and will also announce a funding project in the Southwest region. He will also meet and talk with students at Ca Mau Community College.

Around 12 o'clock, Mr. Kerry gave a speech at Kien Vang hamlet wharf before local leaders and a large number of people.

It is known that Mr. Kerry was the commander of a naval patrol team in the Mekong Delta in the late 1960s.

For the American people, Kerry's three injuries during the Vietnam War did not make as strong an impression as his historic anti-war testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 22, 1971.

At the time, he was the first Vietnam veteran to testify before Congress on a motion to end the war, and the speech was so impressive that President Richard Nixon admitted it was “extremely effective,” according to The Boston Globe.

Mr. Kerry asked the local people

Kerry quickly became a leader of the anti-war movement with his tumultuous protests, his actions of throwing medals into the Capitol building and his famous declaration: “I do this not for violence but for peace and justice and to try to wake this country up once and for all.”

After his visit to Ca Mau, the US Secretary of State will depart for Hanoi on December 16 to discuss in detail key cooperation issues in many aspects./.
