What do you think about this?...a bit more positive

Excerpt from today's announcement:

"The United States and Vietnam are working to develop an intercountry adoption agreement
that ensures the best interests of the child, respects his or her fundamental rights, and
prevents the abduction and trafficking of children, including U.S. assistance to facilitate
Vietnam's early accession to the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoptions. Eighty-five
percent of all U.S. Official Development Assistance to Vietnam focuses on health issues, and
our cooperative efforts to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS and combat Avian Influenza are the
hallmarks of our bilateral health relationship. The United States is providing International
Military Education and Training to Vietnam and using Economic Support Funds to help ethnic
minorities in the Central Highlands. We have also discussed the possibility for a Peace Corps
agreement with Vietnam. The United States has engaged actively with the Vietnamese on
various regional and global issues, particularly in light of its non-permanent UN Security
Council seat in 2008-2009"
