Since the Soviet Union -the international expansionist big power- has taken an
active part in the design and sent thousands of military advisers and large
quantities of military supplies, Viet Nam has deployed in the last rainy season
and is still deploying at a fast pace its aggressor forces for unleashing a
second large-scale strategic attack [against Kampuchea] in this dry season.
[...]
Viet Nam and its master -the Soviet internationa expansionists- cannot do what they like with the Kampuchean nation and people. Their aggression is bound to meet with a defeat more severe and disastruous than they suffered at the end of 1977 and in 1978.
The best and only way out for Viet Nam is to stop immediately its aggression against Kampuchea and sign a Kampuchean-Vietnamese treaty of friendship and non-aggression. This alone conforms to the interests of Viet Nam and Kampuchea and those of Southeast Asia, Asia, and the world.
