Viet Tan (Vietnam Reform Party) (Vietnamese: ''Việt Nam Canh Tân Cách Mạng Đảng'' or ''Việt Tân'' in short) is a network of members inside Vietnam and around the world, that aims to establish democracy and reform Vietnam through peaceful and political means. The organization has its origins in the National United Front for the Freedom of Vietnam (NUFLV), founded on September 10, 1982 with Vice-admiral Hoàng Cơ Minh elected as chairman, which operated underground for two decades. On September 19, 2004, then-chairman Nguyễn Kim dissolved the NUFLV and publicly introduced the Vietnam Reform Party as it is known today. The organization is outlawed in Vietnam and the government of Vietnam considers it a terrorist organization,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pro-reform party coddled in U.S )〕 but Viet Tan's activities are rooted in the promotion of non-violent political change in Vietnam.〔 The U.S. government has repeatedly said that it does not see any evidence that Viet Tan is a terrorist organization, most notably former U.S. Ambassador Michael Michalak stated that there does not exist any evidence that Viet Tan is engaged in terrorism.〔 In addition, the United Nations have also noted that "Viet Tan is a peaceful organization advocating for democratic reform." ==Objectives== Viet Tan aims to establish democracy and reform Vietnam through peaceful means, focusing on empowering the Vietnamese people, supporting the development of civil society, and the promoting pluralism in Vietnam. Specifically, Viet Tan seeks to roll back existing restrictions against basic rights by promoting a de facto free media, supporting grassroots movements, training and capacity building and engaging in international advocacy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.viettan.org/What-We-Do.html )〕 Viet Tan sees the strength and resources of the Vietnamese people as the impetus for achieving political change and restoring civil rights. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Việt Tân」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
