3.2. Conclusion

After researching the topic: "The Party's leadership in Vietnam's relations with the Soviet Union during the war against the US (1954-1975)", the thesis has achieved the following results:

1. Based on research into the historical context of the Vietnamese revolution in the years 1954-1975, Vietnam-Soviet relations before 1954, the Party's anti-American resistance strategy, especially its foreign policy, the thesis clarifies the Party's policies in relations with the Soviet Union during the two periods of 1954-1964 and 1965-1975. Throughout the anti-American resistance, the Party's policy regarding Vietnam-Soviet relations was to cultivate, build, and develop Vietnamese-Soviet friendship; maintain independence and self-reliance in relations with the Soviet Union; maintain a balance in relations with the Soviet Union and China; and strengthen international solidarity within the socialist bloc. These were correct policies, consistent with the international and domestic situation, mobilizing international support for the resistance, and contributing significantly to the final victory.

2. The thesis has relatively objectively and fully reconstructed the Party's leadership in the Vietnam-Soviet Union relationship during the resistance war against the US, from 1954 to 1964 and from 1965 to 1975. The Party's leadership in its relationship with the Soviet Union during the resistance war against the US clearly demonstrated its proactiveness and flexibility in the face of changing global and domestic circumstances. During this period, although the relationship between Vietnam and the Soviet Union experienced ups and downs, it remained fundamentally a friendly and cooperative one. In political-diplomatic, economic-trade, military-defense, and cultural-social spheres, there was close cooperation between the two countries, clearly demonstrating the Soviet Union's support for the Vietnamese revolution.

3. During the Party's policy planning and implementation regarding Vietnam-Soviet Union relations, alongside many achievements, there were also certain limitations. At times, the Party's perception and assessment of the Soviet Union were not entirely objective, leading to inappropriate directives that affected bilateral relations. Furthermore, the implementation of relations with the Soviet Union was sometimes not skillful or appropriate at certain times. The fundamental reasons for these limitations in the Party's leadership were the impact of objective factors: the complexity of international relations, the adjustment of the Soviet Union's foreign policy, and the vested interests of major powers…

4. From the Party's policies and directives regarding Vietnam-Soviet Union relations during the anti-American war, several valuable lessons can be drawn for Vietnam's current foreign policy: prioritizing national and ethnic interests in foreign policy planning; maintaining independence and self-reliance in diplomatic relations with other countries; correctly understanding partners to formulate appropriate foreign policy strategies and measures; balancing relations with other countries in diplomacy; and the necessity of clearly understanding the relationship between domestic and foreign affairs. These experiences should be inherited and further developed in the present by expanding relations with countries and international organizations worldwide, especially in relations with the Russian Federation.
