Vietnam’s Approach to Indo-Pacific Strategies

This article examines the approaches of Vietnam to the Indo-Pacific strategies promoted by the United States, Japan, Australia and India, taking into account their declared and actual goals. Special attention is paid to the prospects of Hanoi’s support for these projects, first of all, the American concept “Free and Open Indo-Pacific”. The author comes to the conclusion that, despite its interest Vietnam is unlikely to support them officially, fearing the reaction of China. However, in practice, cooperation in key areas of the strategies will be continued.
