Foreign relations of Vietnam

Foreign ministry in Hanoi

As of September 2024, Vietnam (officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam) maintains diplomatic relationships with 191 UN member states, State of Palestine and Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.[1]

Since the end of the Vietnam War and the unification of Vietnam, Vietnam's foreign policy has reflected a tension between two choices: "to reject the Western-led world order and oppose Western influence, or to accept the Western-led world order and adapt Western influence."[2] Over time, Vietnam has become more engaged in the international community.[2] Vietnam has shifted from a fierce opponent of the United States to a discreet ally of the United States.[2] Vietnam has for decades consistently sought to deny Chinese regional dominance.[2]
