10. Summary of thesis results:

The thesis has researched and clarified 3 contents: Theoretical and practical basis of the research problem; Current status of the research problem; Recommendations for solutions to improve the effectiveness of the research problem. The results of this research have clarified the overall picture of the implementation of defense industrial complex development policies of the Russian Federation (RF) from 2000 to present.

Today, our country is simultaneously carrying out two strategic tasks of building and defending the Fatherland in the new era, in which we must independently and autonomously build the defense industry (DID) in the context that Vietnam has been deeply involved in the globalization and international integration process. In order to choose the right path to build and develop the defense industry, we need to learn from experience and cooperate closely with countries with developed science, technology and defense industry in the world, especially with Russia, a country with the world's leading science, technology potential and defense industry.

The Russian defense industry (also known as the defense industry complex) has gone through many ups and downs after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the years under the administration of President Boris Yeltsin. Since 2000, the Russian government under the leadership of President Vladimir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev has put forward correct policies, suitable to the actual conditions of the Russian Federation, helping the Russian defense industry complex develop strongly, withstand domestic economic difficulties, overcome the world economic crisis, ensure the supply of modern weapons and equipment to the Russian army to meet the current combat situation and export to the world market with world-leading quantity and quality, consolidating and enhancing Russia's position in the international arena. Therefore, the study and research on the development policy of the Russian defense industry complex from 2000 to present is of special importance; from practical experience drawn from successes and limitations in the process of building and developing the Russian defense industry complex, it creates a theoretical foundation and lessons learned to study, select and propose a number of strategic orientations and models in the development of Vietnam's defense industry suitable to new conditions.

This is the first research topic on the defense industry of the Russian Federation from 2000 to present (June 2014), so the results of the thesis are completely new research results.

11. Practical application:

The research results of the thesis will contribute to clarifying the achievements, limitations and prospects with opportunities and challenges for the Russian defense industry complex in the coming time. From there, propose feasible solutions to promote positive impacts and minimize negative impacts in the process of building a development strategy for the defense industry of Vietnam.

12. Further research directions:

Firstly, the development model and policy of the Russian defense industry have many similarities with Vietnam, especially in the process of transition to a market economy. Based on the success of Russia, we need to identify and select a defense industry development model suitable for current conditions in the direction of combining defense industry with civil industry to make the most of all the country's resources to serve the cause of building and defending the Fatherland in the new situation.

Second, building and developing the defense industry according to a combined model is not only the work of the Ministry of National Defense but also the work of many other ministries, departments and branches such as the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, state management agencies, etc. Thus, the research and development of an effective coordination mechanism between functional agencies, state management agencies and between manufacturing enterprises plays a particularly important role. Therefore, further, more in-depth studies on this content are needed.

Thesis researched 3 contents: theoretical and practical basis of the research issue; current status of research issue; recommendations to improve performances of the research issue. All of these clarify the overall of the activities of realizing the development policy for defense industry in Russian Federation since 2000.

Nowadays, our country is doing the two strategic tasks: building and protecting the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in a new era; in which, we have to build and develop the defense industry in the condition Vietnam has been deeply participating in the international integration and globanization. In order to gain a right direction for developing the defense industry, we have to learn the experiences and establish co-operation with the advanced - technology and developed - defense industry countries in the world, especially with the Russian Federation.

Russian defense industry (defense industry complex) has gone through the time of very harsh difficulties after the collapsing of the Soviet Union and under the government of President Boris Yelsin. Since 2000, under the leadership of Russian Government led by President Vladimir Putting and President Dimitry Medvedev, Russian defense industry complex has increased and reached successfully with great achievements, surmounted the economic crisis in Russia, in the world and satisfied to supply modern weapons and technical equipments for Russian arm forces and to export the world-leading weapons in quality and quantity to the world market, and to raise the position of Russian Federation in the international arena.

Consequently, the study of Russian development policy of defense industry since 2000 has a very special importance, with the withdrawn experiences of successes and limits of Russian defense industry complex, which will be a basic theory and direction for making a suitable development policy of Vietnam Defense industry in a new situation.

This is the first research on this area in the period 2000 ¸ present (June 2014), so the results of the thesis are the new ones.

12. Practical applicability, if any:

The research results of thesis will show out all the successes, limits and further prospects with opportunities, challenges of Russian defense industry complex in the coming time. The research results are the base to outline highly – feasible solutions with enhancing the activeness and minimizing negativeness in strategy of developing Vietnam defense industry in the new era.

13. Further research directions, if any:

First, there are many similarities between Vietnam and Russia in model and development policy of Russian defense industry complex; especially, in the process of changing to market economy. Based on the success of Russian defense industry complex, we need to identify a suitable model of developing the defense industry sector with orienting in combination between defense industry and civil industry in order to mobilize all the national internal forces to build and protect our country in the new era.

Second, building and developing the model of defense industry in accordance with combination is not the job of only Ministry of Defense. It needs the cooperation of many ministries, such as Ministry of Public Security. Ministry of Industry and Trade and other state management organizations. Therefore, the studies to form an effective combination mechanism among state organizations, ministries, sectors and enterprises are a very important issue. So it is needed to have the further researches on the above two contents.
