Résumé : In his conference, Dr. Viet T. Nguyen will explore Vietnam’s foreign policy in a new regional order of rising uncertainties. He will present how Vietnam perceives the opportunities and challenges arising from such order and responds accordingly. The new developments and complexity of international relations in the Asia Pacific region induces Vietnam to adjust its foreign policy, most notably since the 12th Party Congress in 2016. The ongoing power transition in the region brings significant security challenges for Vietnam, including threats to its sovereignty regarding the disputes over the South China Sea and the difficulties in maintaining and managing its current balanced relations with major powers. Dr. Viet T. Nguyen will also present some recommendations about the roles that Vietnam and Canada should play in this new context.
