International cooperation Tuesday, 14:40 26-07-2022

Abstract:  On the basis of analyzing major theoretical schools on international relations including Realism, Liberalism and Constructivism, the author has identified 3 levels of analyzing factors: individual, nation and system. The research reveals that Vietnam-Israel relations are influenced by those factors at different levels. While the relations are not much impacted by individuals, they can be affected at national levels with such factors as domestic situation, national identity, two sides’ needs and historical factors. Strongly-affecting factors of Vietnam-Israel relations at system level include multi-polarity, methods of gathering forces, strategic competition among major powers, globalization, scientific and technological revolution, global and security issues.

Application of Ho Chi Minh’s thought on “taking the people as the root” in building the “people’s hearts and minds posture”, consolidating national defense, and firmly protecting socialist Vietnam in new period

Communist Review - President Ho Chi Minh’s thought on "taking the people as the root” had paramount significance, serving as the guiding star for the Communist Party of Vietnam to lead the revolution. This mindset inherited and promoted Vietnam’s thousand-year-old history of national construction and defense and the Marxist-Leninist perspective on the role of the people in history. It should continue to be creatively applied to the cause of national construction and defense in the new period.
