SOMALIN THACH, Khmer Kampuchea Krom Federation, suggested that the Forum set up a half-day discussion for the recognition of people unrecognized by their Governments and, notably, to help set up a series of meetings between her organization and the Vietnamese Government. The Forum should urge Viet Nam to work with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to distribute translated documents on the Declaration to her people. "We are the indigenous peoples of the Mekong Delta", she said, adding her hope to live in her homeland and to practise her unique cultural heritage. It was time for Viet Nam to move beyond preventing her people from speaking at this Forum. She asked Viet Nam to "open their minds and their hearts and embrace the spirit of working in partnership".
