Vietnam and US Relations: From “Former Foe to Comprehensive Partner”

International news Tuesday, 11:30 27-04-2021

Vietnam and US bilateral relations have gone through a long way of healing and has not been “easy for both” since the normalization of diplomatic ties. During recent years, the relations between the two countries have seen remarkable development. In July 2013, Vietnam President Truong Tan Sang and US President Barack Obama issued the common statement about the “comprehensive partnership”. Vietnam and US comprehensive partnership has been regarded as the outcome of gradual development in the bilateral relationship since the Cold War ended and as the result of the US strategy of “rebalancing Asia”, which really contributed to the development of the relations between the two countries.

Protecting the Party’s Ideological Foundation, Fighting to Refute the False and Hostile Views of the Vietnamese Young Intellectuals: Current Situation and Solutions

Abstract: Entering the era of the fourth industrial revolution, intellectuals have demonstrated their pivotal role in the development of many countries in the world, including Vietnam. Vietnamese young intellectuals are increasingly growing and affirming their indispensable position in the modern workforce. Being well-trained, being able to think independently, study, enrich and spread knowledge, as well as to live and work in a knowledge-based environment, most of Vietnamese young intellectuals can perceive and interpret political information (which related to the Party’s ideological foundation) in a propriate, correct, moderate, and profound way with intrinsic and professional vision. However, there is still a part of young intellectuals who are fluctuated in political stance and thus, have some inappropriate behaviors such as sharing information of hostile forces on social networks, being taken advantage of by forces to act against our social stability. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to study the current situation and to suggest some solutions to improve the Vietnamese young intellectuals’ behavior culture in protecting the Party’s ideological foundation and fighting against wrong and hostile views.
