The first fully attended meeting of the formal Paris peace talks is held. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, the chief negotiator for the United States, urged an immediate restoration of a genuine DMZ as the first “practical move toward peace.” Lodge also suggested a mutual withdrawal of “external” military forces and an early release of prisoners of war. Tran Buu Kiem and Xuan Thuy, heads of the National Liberation Front and North Vietnamese delegations respectively, refused Lodge’s proposals and condemned American “aggression.”

Thanks SP5 Mark Kuzinski for reminding us that on January 25, 1969 that the first fully attended meeting of the formal Paris peace talks was held. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, the chief negotiator for the United States, urged an immediate restoration of a genuine DMZ as the first “practical move toward peace.” Lodge also suggested a mutual withdrawal of “external” military forces and an early release of prisoners of war.
Unsurprisingly, te4h deceitful and duplicitous heads of the National Liberation Front and North Vietnamese delegations Tran Buu Kiem and Xuan Thuy respectively refused Lodge’s proposals and condemned American “aggression.”
