Die strategischen Beziehungen der USA und Vietnams

Wie angesichts des Aufstiegs Chinas aus einstigen Kontrahenten ziemlich beste Freunde wurden

Als erste US-Vizepräsidentin seit der Aufnahme der diplomatischen Beziehungen mit der Sozialistischen Republik Vietnam vor 26 Jahren besuchte Kamala Harris Ende August 2021 die vietnamesische Hauptstadt Hanoi. Dass ihre erste Asienreise nach Amtsübernahme sie ausgerechnet neben Singapur nach Vietnam führte, spiegelt den strategischen Stellenwert wider, den man in Washington dem südostasiatischen Staat beimisst. Und auch in Hanoi weiß man um die Bedeutung der „umfassenden Partnerschaft“. Nur „strategisch“ will man sie (noch) nicht nennen – eine semantische Rücksichtnahme auf den großen Nachbarn im Norden.

Vietnam vor dem Parteikongress – Gestärkt durch die Krise?

Der Nationalkongress der Kommunistischen Partei Vietnams stellt die Weichen für die kommenden fünf Jahre

Ende Januar 2021 steht der 13. Nationalkongress der Kommunistischen Partei Vietnams an. Auf diesem wird die politische Führung neu bestimmt werden. Die Ergebnisse des Kongresses werden die künftige innen- und außenpolitische Richtung bestimmen und wegweisend für die Wirtschaft Vietnams in den kommenden fünf Jahren sein. Ein Rückblick auf die vergangenen Monate zeigt, dass die Partei gestärkt in Klausur geht. Insgesamt war 2020 für Vietnam ein schwieriges und zugleich erfolgreiches Jahr. Der Umgang mit der Covid-19-Pandemie stellte das Land vor enorme Herausforderungen, die aber gesundheitspolitisch und wirtschaftlich im weltweiten Vergleich sehr gut bewältigt wurden. Gleichzeitig hatte Vietnam mit Beginn der UN-Sicherheitsratsmitgliedschaft und dem ASEAN-Vorsitz auf der internationalen Bühne in einer Doppelverantwortung zu bestehen. Mit Näherrücken des Parteitages wurde gleichzeitig sichtbar, dass die Partei ihre umfassende Macht und das politische System gegen jede Kritik vehement verteidigt.

Workshop

Course Dissemination "Multilateral Diplomacy"

2020 mark a big milestone in multilateral diplomacy of Vietnam when it is holding dual very important task: ASEAN Chairmanship and non-permanent member of UNSC. In times like these, when political, economic, social and environmental issues are increasingly becoming a global affair, we need to encourage our youth to take part in education on Multilateral Diplomacy more than ever – That was the starting point of this project when KAS Vietnam decided to support the Faculty of International Politics and Diplomacy, Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam a 3 year activity started from 2018 with 5 phases as follows: 1. A 7-day workshop on course-building (where we had very profound experts in this field Professor Ralf Emmers and Professor Tan See Seng who came to Vietnam to conduct one week training for 12 collaborating teaching experts) 2. Syllabus building and assessment at DAV; 3. Developing course materials; 4. Pilot teaching at DAV – which I heard this new subject received very positive feedback from both teachers and students And today, 2 October 2020 is the final event to launch the course “Multilateral Diplomacy”. Speaking at the opening remark, Mr. Peter Girke confirmed: this is “a small but noble” activity. When we started this project in 2018, we didn’t never think that Vietnam shall be elected as non-permanent member of UNSC, but now it is and thus, this course becomes very trendy and there will be many practical experiences to be shared/trained when the course is in class. Mr. Do Hung Viet – Director General of the Department of International Organisation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a key notes speak in which he emphasized the role of multilateral diplomacy and how multilateral cooperation mutually support for bilateral cooperation and national interests as well. In additional to DAV, the launching workshop received participation of teachers of 17 universities nationwide who is in charge of international relation subject in their profession. This “multilateral diplomacy” is the first ever course in Vietnam and therefore it showcased the success in collaboration between KAS and DAV.
