SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE RENOVATION POLICY IN VIETNAM AND THE PROBLEMS OF RUSSIAN-VIETNAMESE RELATIONS

The article presents the conclusions of a study of two closely related topics. In the framework of the first, the development of the political situation in Vietnam is considered under the influence of the Renewal policy (Doi Moi) on the basis of the SWOT analysis. The main focus is put on the most acute problems in the field of security and the conditions for their successful overcoming. The second section is devoted to the Russian-Vietnamese relations; the emphasis is made on identifying the reasons for their low efficiency. The author identifies security problems that can be solved only with the support of the Russian Federation, but not China and the United States. It was concluded that the low efficiency of cooperation between Russia and Vietnam hinders its development, despite the coincidence of the strategic interests of the parties.
