Vietnam's diplomacy assures cooperation with other countries in the integration process, and at the same time secures independence, sovereignty, national security, and national identity. Key aspects of Vietnam's diplomacy:

• Consider the people the root of everything else, rely on the people, and carry out the people's diplomacy.
• Firmly keep the principle of independence and sovereignty in foreign affairs.
• Hold the flag of patriotism and justice high to encourage people inside and outside the country to unite all forces that love peace and progress.
• Give prominence to humanity and the traditional humanitarianism of the Vietnamese culture, be on friendly terms, and do not harbor thoughts of revenge.
• Always consider Vietnam as part of the world to combine the power of the nation and the power of the era aimed at meeting the demand of each period that national interest requires.
