越南社會主義共和國
位於東南亞的社會主義國家,現在由越南共產黨統治。但1986年開始,越南共產黨實施經濟改革開放,成果非常豐碩。2022年可說是越南閃耀的一年(好老派的說法,但是認真的)。因為上海封城影響出貨,蘋果電腦將部分iPad訂單轉到越南生產。英特爾也在越南擴大汽車晶片組裝測試業務,高通則認為越南將會成為東南亞的技術中心。另外在新創產業,越南新創公司獲得的投資也不斷創新高。
越南一直以來奉行的多樣化外交策略也在2022年達到絕佳效果。得益於雙邊自由貿易協定,光是2022年1到5月,越南和歐盟的貿易順差增加了47%,和英國的雙邊貿易量也增加超過11%。雖然過去與俄羅斯關係密切,但越南政府在俄烏戰爭中的反應取得了謹慎的平衡。美國也因為擔心中國趁虛而入,不嚴厲要求越南遠離俄羅斯。預計未來幾年內,越南將在東南亞取得舉足輕重的地位。
Year Founded: 1975
A socialist state in Southeast Asia, Vietnam was once colonized by France and Japan. The Vietnam War broke out in 1955, and finally the People's Army (Communist Party) of Vietnam, backed by the Soviet Union and China, unified the country and established the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
In the past two decades, after economic reform and opening up, the country has transformed itself from an agricultural country to an export-oriented state relying on textiles and electronics in particular, becoming one of the countries with the fastest economic growth in the world. Before 2019, Vietnam's annual GDP growth rate was fixed at 5% and up. In addition, as it has signed up a great number of economic trade agreements like RCEP and CPTPP, and also entered into bilateral agreements with the European Union, China, Japan and South Korea. Its economic growth in the next few years is promising. Although Vietnam is a communist state, its diplomatic policy does not lean toward China or Russia in particular and mainly follows independent and diversified diplomatic strategies.
