Which Vietnamese diplomat lived from 1911 to 1990 and negotiated with Kissinger?

• A. Le Duc Tho
• B. Henry Kissinger
• C. Edward Lansdale
• D. Ngo Dinh Diem

Answer: (A)

Le Duc Tho stands out as the Vietnamese diplomat who lived from 1911 to 1990 and led North Vietnam’s negotiating team with Henry Kissinger at the Paris talks. He played a central role in shaping the discussions that produced the framework for the Paris Peace Accords in the early 1970s, and his work is closely associated with Kissinger’s efforts to end U.S. involvement in Vietnam. The two were even awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973 for their efforts, though Tho declined the award. The other figures either aren’t Vietnamese diplomats or don’t match the lifespan or the role of negotiating with Kissinger.
