  11. WASHINGTON (TheBlaze/AP) — President Barack Obama’s mission in Vietnam and Japan is to build stronger economic and security ties with Asian-Pacific allies anxious about the rise of an increasingly muscular China. That forward-looking message will be delivered even as he confronts the legacies of two wars long past — Vietnam and World War II — that still are fraught with emotion. Obama’s first stop on his weeklong Asia trip is Vietnam, where he will be the third sitting president to visit since the end of the war. Four decades after the fall of Saigon, and two decades after President Bill Clinton restored relations with the nation, Obama is eager to upgrade relations with an emerging power whose rapidly expanding middle class beckons as a promising market for U.S. goods and an offset to China’s growing strength in the region. AP Photo/ Hau Dinh Obama arrived in Hanoi late Sunday. During his three-day stay in Vietnam, he’ll make the case for stronger commercial and security ties, including approval of the 12-nation trans-Pacific trade agreement that is stalled in Congress and facing strong opposition from the 2016 presidential candidates. Vietnam also is hoping that Obama will use the visit to erase an irksome vestige of the war by lifting the U.S. partial embargo on selling arms to the country. The idea is under consideration, but concern about Vietnam’s human rights record could weigh against it. The Telegraph reported Saturday that some American groups are pressuring Obama to take care of “unfinished business” regarding the fates of more than 1,600 U.S. servicemen who never returned home from the Vietnam War. Relatives of those military members have petitioned for Vietnam’s help in accounting for the many who may have died after being shot down or died as POWs. In Japan, Obama will attend a summit of the Group of Seven industrialized nations, where the uncertain global economy will be a top concern of the G-7 leaders. They’ll also grapple with a full array of world challenges, including the fight against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, the refugee crisis in Europe and Russian aggression. Also on the agenda will be Beijing’s assertive claims in the South China Sea that are causing tensions with other countries in the region. The culminating moment of Obama’s trip will be a solemn visit to Hiroshima, where the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb that killed 140,000 people, ushering in the nuclear age seven decades ago. Another bomb killed 70,000 in Nagasaki three days later. “You could not have had a more violent conflict than we had with the Japanese in World War II, as a visit to Hiroshima will certainly mark, but now they are among our closest friends in the world,” Deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said. “You could not have a more contested, controversial, costly, tragic war than the Vietnam War, and now (Vietnam) is becoming a partner of the United States, an important partner.” Still, concerns about human and political rights shadow the president’s stay in Vietnam. The country did free a Catholic priest who had been one of its longest-serving political prisoners in the lead-up to the president’s visit. But the U.S. remains concerned about severe government restrictions on citizens’ political rights and limits on civil liberties and free expression. Rhodes said the Vietnam and Japan visits both reflect Obama’s world view “that we can move beyond difficult and complicated histories” to find areas of common interest. With Obama’s goal in mind, many have made efforts to ensure that history is not lost in the push for progress. In advance of the president’s visit, the White House invited representatives of Vietnam veterans’ organizations to trace progress in the U.S.-Vietnamese relationship. Rick Weidman, executive director for policy at the Vietnam Veterans of America, who participated in one of the meetings, said there still are wounds from Vietnam that need healing. He said the U.S. needs to do more to account for those still missing from the war and to help deal with ill effects from U.S. use of Agent Orange during the war. Even though the last 591 American POWs returned to the U.S. in April 1973, there are theories that state the then-North Vietnamese kept some prisoners of war to use as leverage with President Richard Nixon in aid aid package that could’ve catalyzed the end of the war. According to the Telegraph, some say that aid payment failed because of Nixon’s Watergate scandal and the North Vietnamese retained the prisoners. Some American prisoners of war are believed to have been killed to provide military secrets in exchange for their lives under Vietnam’s Communist rule, the Telegraph reported.

  20. KATHMANDU, Nepal (TheBlaze/AP) — Two Indian climbers have gone missing on Mount Everest, an expedition organizer said Sunday, after two deaths from apparent altitude sickness in recent days highlighted the risks on the world’s highest mountain. Paresh Nath and Goutam Ghosh have been missing since Saturday, said Wangchu Sherpa of the Trekking Camp Nepal agency in Kathmandu. They were last seen near the Everest summit. AP/Alpenglow Expeditions, Adrian Ballinger Two of their companions who fell sick were being helped down the mountain, Sherpa said. About 30 climbers have developed frostbite or become sick near the summit in recent days. Most of the sick climbers suffered frostbite while attempting to reach the summit or on their descent, Mountaineering Department official Gyanendra Shrestha said. Favorable weather has allowed nearly 400 climbers to reach the summit from Nepal since May 11, but the altitude, weather and harsh terrain can cause problems at any time. Several Sherpa guides carried one sick climber from the highest camp, at nearly 8,000 meters (26,240 feet), to Camp 2, at 6,400 meters (21,000 feet), where attempts were being made to pick her up with a helicopter, said Pemba Sherpa of the Seven Summit Treks agency in Kathmandu. Seema Goshwami of India had frostbite to her hands and feet at the South Col camp and was unable to move. “It took a big and risky effort, but we were able to save her,” Pemba Sherpa said, adding that an Iranian climber identified only as S. Hadi had been brought to Kathmandu and was recovering in a hospital. A Norwegian woman, 45-year-old Siv Harstad, suffered snow blindness and was helped down from the summit on Saturday, the Norwegian news agency NTB said. The two climbers who died were on the same expedition team. It was undecided when and if their bodies will be brought down from the high altitude and it will depend on the team and family members, Pasang Phurba of the Seven Summits agency said. Carrying bodies down Everest takes at least eight Sherpa guides, since they become frozen and heavier than normal. More details were not available because of communication difficulties on the 8,850-meter (29,035-foot) mountain. The two deaths were the first confirmed this year on Everest, during a busy climbing season that follows two years in which the peak was virtually empty due to two fatal avalanches. Dutch climber Eric Arnold, 35, had enough bottled oxygen with him, as well as climbing partners, but he complained of getting weak and died Friday night near South Col before he was able to get to a lower altitude, Phurba said. Just hours after Arnold died, Australian climber Maria Strydom, a finance lecturer at Monash University’s business school in Melbourn also showed signs of altitude sickness Saturday afternoon before she died, Phurba said. Strydom was a finance lecturer at Monash University’s business school in Melbourne. The school posted on Facebook that the community was “deeply saddened” by her death. Arnold was from the Dutch city of Rotterdam, according to his Twitter account, which was updated on Friday with a post that he had reached the summit on his fifth try. In an interview earlier this year with RTV Rijnmond, Arnold noted that the risks of climbing the world’s highest peak did not end at the summit. “Two-thirds of the accidents happen on the way down,” he said. “If you get euphoric and think ‘I have reached my goal,’ the most dangerous part is still ahead of you.” Strydom and her husband were attempting to climb the seven summits, the highest peaks on the seven continents, according to the Monash Business School’s website. She had already climbed Denali in Alaska, Aconcagua in Argentina, Mount Ararat in Turkey and Kilamanjaro in Kenya, the website said. Strydom said she felt well-prepared for her attempt to climb Everest, and that depending on whether she reached the summit, her mind would likely turn to her next adventure. Thousands of people have summited Mount Everest since it was first conquered by New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay in 1953. But more than 250 people have died in the attempt. Trekking companies were anxious to see foreign climbers return after two years of disasters. Nepal’s devastating earthquake last year caused the season to be canceled, and climbing attempts were largely abandoned in 2014 after an avalanche above the base camp killed 16 Sherpa guides.
