Southeast Asia
The US Em assy in Bangkok has learned
that Vietnamese Foreign Minister Trinh
called in ambassadors on Wednesday to complain
that last Saturday's ASEAN communique was not helpful to
ASEAN-Vietnamese relations. Trinh also said that an
"unnamed" ASEAN state is helping the ousted Pol Pot re-
gime and should stop. the Thai do not plan
to respond to the nonspecific accusation. The US Em-
bassy in Vientiane, meanwhile, reports that Lao offi-
cials appear to be closely coordinating with Hanoi to
calm ASEAN fears. The Embassy concludes that Hanoi may
think it both useful and appropriate to have Laos assure
ASEAN members that Vietnamese dominance over a neighbor
does not have to be destabilizing.

The Security Council yesterday, by a 12-0 vote, re-
newed the mandate of UNIFIL for five months. The USSR
and Czechoslovakia abstained and China did not partici-
pate in the vote. The US Mission at the UN reports that
the French, who have troops in UNIFIL and professed to
want only a four-month extension, would have abstained
if the Council had opted for the six months'-renewal
sought by Lebanese Foreign Minister Boutros.
