02438348033 The View of the Party and State of Vietnam about the Relationship with Big Countries Today
In the relationship with big countries, the Party and State of Vietnam prioritize the development of external economic relations, enlarging and diversifying the market, attracting more capital and technology for the industrialization and modernization and establishing interwoven interests with different partners. Balancing relationship with big countries is a consistent direction of the Party and State of Vietnam since the Cold War. The reality of external relations and the achievements of the last 30 years have confirmed the validity of this strategic policy.

A theoretical framework to Vietnam's paradiplomacy making and implementation
Abstract: Paradiplomacy, or subnational diplomacy, has become an increasingly significant dimension of international relations in the context of globalization and decentralization. In Vietnam, local diplomacy plays a vital role in the realization of the country’s foreign policy objectives, particularly in linking security, development, and international position. This article develops a theoretical framework for understanding how Vietnam formulates and implements paradiplomatic policies. It adopts a policy analysis approach based on the “ends–means–ways” and linear model, adapted to the Vietnamese political-administrative context. The framework emphasizes both vertical coordination (top-down guidance from the central level) and horizontal interaction (bottom-up initiatives from provinces and cities), reflecting the hybrid nature of Vietnam’s paradiplomacy as both a delegated and an autonomous practice within the unified foreign policy system.
