Vietnam wants to take the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Russia to a new level

Today's Vietnam-Russia relations have continued to inherit and continue the good, close, and close traditional friendship and cooperation of the former Vietnam-Soviet Union relationship. Image On the occasion of the visit to Russia of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam To Lam and the high-ranking Vietnamese delegation, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son gave an interview to the Russian press about Vietnam's foreign policy as well as Vietnam's vision in its relations with Russia.

- Vietnam is a resilient nation throughout its history of fighting for independence and defending sovereignty against foreign invaders in the 20th century. Please tell us what valuable historical lessons have shaped Vietnam's foreign policy in international relations today?

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son: The great achievements in Vietnam's current struggle for independence, national reunification and renovation all have the mark and important contribution of foreign affairs. The valuable historical lessons of the past 80 years still hold true and continue to guide Vietnam's foreign affairs in the new era, the era of national growth.

The first is the lesson of ensuring the highest national interests. Foreign affairs always follow President Ho Chi Minh's words: "We must always serve the interests of the nation." Today, national interests continue to be the guiding principle for action, the most important basis for determining Vietnam's foreign policy and guidelines, on the basis of equality, cooperation, mutual benefit, in accordance with the United Nations Charter and international law.

The second is the lesson of combining national strength with the strength of the times. In the current period, diplomacy continues to play a pioneering role in mobilizing favorable external conditions and resources such as the trend of peace, cooperation and development, the achievements of the 4.0 Industrial Revolution and development trends such as digital transformation and green transformation to serve the country's development.

Third is the close combination of foreign affairs with national defense, security and other fields in planning and implementing foreign policy. In the current period, we identify that together with national defense and security and other fields, foreign affairs plays an important role in contributing to protecting the country early and from afar, firmly ensuring independence, sovereignty, and territory, creating a peaceful, stable, and favorable international situation, and taking advantage of resources and conditions to serve national development.

Fourth is the lesson of integration with the world, placing the country in the mainstream of the times; today is deep, comprehensive, and complete international integration, making international integration a driving force for development, becoming the cause of the entire political system and the entire people.

These valuable historical lessons continue to contribute to shaping Vietnam's foreign policy in the new era, in line with the international context, helping Vietnam continue to affirm and enhance its position in the international arena.Image

On the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South & National Reunification, through the Vietnamese Embassy, Soviet veterans residing in Ukraine, who served as military experts in Vietnam during the war, had some reminiscences about a difficult but also very proud time. 🧵 Image 1. More than 50 years have passed, but Soviet veterans still cannot forget the days when they fought side by side with the Vietnamese people in the liberation of the South and the reunification of the country. To recall a difficult but also proud part of his life, veteran Valeriy Petrovych Miroshnychenko could not help but be moved. As he told the story, he flipped through each souvenir photo of his time in Vietnam that he had kept as a treasure for decades. When telling this story, he felt like he was once again reliving the past.

He recalled: "Our group, the first group of Soviet military experts on the use of the ZSU-23-4 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, consisting of 8 people, arrived by Aeroflot civilian flight on May 19, 1972 at the international airport in the capital Hanoi. The Commander of the Vietnam Air Defense - Air Force, Colonel Le Van Tri, personally welcomed us. Through this, the Vietnamese Command expressed its respect for our group as well as its hope for the success of the combat use of the new air defense system in Vietnam.

The Vietnamese comrades immediately warned us that staying in the international airport area was now very dangerous because the bombing and air strikes of the US Air Force on targets right in the airport were happening more frequently. Therefore, after a short traditional tea break, which, incidentally, was the first time we saw, drank green tea and also tasted the flavor of peanuts, we were taken by Soviet-made buses to the military hotel in Hanoi. The route bypassed the airport area and we had not gone far when the bus suddenly stopped and we were asked to get off and walk towards the rice fields.Image
