Vietnam’s Agent Orange campaign has made the US government start to act, by educating them on the environmental and social impacts in Vietnam, a Vietnamese professor and activist has said.
Professor Vo Quy, lecturer at Vietnam National University-Hanoi and one of the first members of the Vietnam-US Dialogue Group on Agent Orange/Dioxin, said that dialogues between Vietnam and US activists made progress since 2007, when the group was established.
US President George W. Bush and the US Congress in 2007, for the first time, agreed to allocate US$3 million of their budget to reduce environmental impacts of the dioxin at Da Nang Airport.
We know that $3 million is not worth anything because it would take more than $40 million to clear the chemical from the airport, but the US government started to admit the Agent Orange issue in Vietnam, Quy told the Tuoi Tre recently, before Vietnam commemorated 50 years of the tragedy this Wednesday.
Since 2009, the US government sent a further $3 million for the chemical clearance at the airport and in 2010 an additional $15 million.
According to Quy, toxicity clearance should be a top priority in the coming time, focusing on the hotspots of Da Nang Airport, Bien Hoa Airport in Dong Nai Province and Phu Cat Airport in Binh Dinh Province, which were used during the Vietnam War.
