Exploring Vietnam’s Role in Peace and Mediation
VIETNAM STUDIES PROGRAMME WEBINAR
About the Webinar
The webinar explores the possible role that Vietnam can play in peace and mediation. A recent addition to Vietnam’s existing foreign policy objectives of independence and the multi-lateralisation of international relations is to become a contributor to global peace. The webinar will provide an overview of this new foreign policy thrust in terms of its context, motivations, and significance. It will also provide a case-specific analysis that reviews Vietnam’s past experience in contributing to peace. It further assesses Vietnam’s potential and possible challenges to its prospective role of a peace mediator. Finally, it puts forward several policy recommendations for Vietnam to overcome these challenges and take on this new role.
