Developments of Vietnam’s policies towards Australia after the Cold War

Abstract

This paper investigates Vietnam’s primary documents of Vietnamese Communist Party and Vietnamese government relating to diplomatic strategy to present the improvement and development of Vietnam’s policies towards Australia after the Cold War. In the context that Vietnam was embargoed and isolated in the region, Australia was an important bridge to help Vietnam to link with foreign countries. Due to the significance of Australia in both economy, politics, diplomacy, and recently security, Vietnam’s policies towards Australia are remarkable with great expectations and the bilateral relation between the two strong partners more and more obtains better results.
