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.

Three pillars for developing a high-quality, sustainable, and humane journalism workforce to meet the demands of the era of national rise

Abstract: For nearly a century, Vietnam’s revolutionary press has accompanied the nation’s struggles for independence, freedom, renovation, and development. In the present stage when the entire nation is rising to enter a new era, the digital era, the era of deep integration and sustainable development, the press faces new, historically significant demands. Journalism must now develop “breakthroughs,” advance “straight into modernity,” and become a driving force for social progress, shaping the future, leading social change, and spreading the values of truth, goodness, and beauty. It must help build social consensus and promote a more humane and progressive society. To fulfill this mission, journalists themselves are the key factor. Press agencies and training institutions need to design and implement strategies to develop a generation of journalists who embody high quality, creativity, and humanity.
