Ambassador Nguyen Dinh Phuon was the interpreter at the Vietnam-US Paris peace talks 1968-73. He talks about the discussions and his career and what it was like to interpret at the negotiations. He looks back at his career in Foreign Ministry of Vietnam and finally gives advice to young people who would like to become interpreters.
The American negotiator, Henry Kissinger, and the Vietnamese negotiator, Le Duc Tho, were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973 for the Paris Peace Accords [ Ссылка ]. Le Duc Tho declined the Prize since there was still no peace agreement.
