In this research, I mainly focused on finding out the two main points as below. First of all, I tried to make clear the political position of relating countries about the solution of Vietnam War such as Korea, Philippine, US, France, and Great Britain who had a influence on regional problems of South East Asia as a former colonizing countries were critical about the U.S.A’s involvement of Vietnam war. They tried to seek a peaceful settlement by stopping the bombing toward North Vietnam and peace negotiation. In the meanwhile, Korea, who considered the Vietnam war as a specific something related to its own security directly, opposed to the settlement of Vietnam war initiated by great powers. Second, in the negotiation to come to an agreement of troop sending countries relating the Manila summit conference, there was a continuing struggle between Korea and Philippine for the direction of the conference. Philippine government considered Manila conference as a step to hold a All-Asian conference in the near future. It also hoped the conference to be a forum not only to discuss the Vietnam problem but also to discuss the comprehensive regional problem of Asia. On the other hand, Korean government, which succeeded in establishing Asia-Pacific Council by taking initiative, opposed Philippine’s leading Manila conference to be a regional consultative body competitive to ASPAC. Accordingly, Korean government emphasized that the conference should mainly focus on discussing military and security matters related to Vietnam. It also emphasized that agenda related to political, economical, and cultural issues regionally should be eliminated from the conference
