10. Summary of the thesis results:The novelty and new contributions of this topic lie in its comprehensive overview of the entire process of Vietnamese enterprises' outward direct investment from 1989 to the end of 2012, as well as the overall foreign policy guidelines implemented by the Party and State during this period. The new aspect of this study is its identification of the reciprocal relationship and impact between how foreign policy has affected outward direct investment activities, and conversely, how outward direct investment activities have influenced the adjustment of Vietnam's foreign policy. Furthermore, the study makes a new contribution by analyzing whether investment projects by overseas Vietnamese communities constitute direct foreign investment projects. It also offers a perspective on strengthening management and supervision to prevent money laundering by proposing stricter management measures for direct foreign investment projects by Vietnamese businesses.
11. Practical applications:This topic serves as a resource for businesses to consult before implementing projects, considering various aspects such as: whether the business's investment project falls under the "Promoting Vietnamese Investment Abroad" scheme; and whether the host country has signed an investment protection and promotion agreement or a double taxation avoidance agreement with Vietnam. Based on this data, businesses can develop appropriate project implementation plans. Alternatively, this topic provides those interested in the relationship between foreign policy and direct foreign investment with a comprehensive overview of the relationship between these two entities.
12. Future research directions:This topic could be further developed by continuing to update research on the relationship between foreign policy and foreign direct investment from 2012 to the present; or it could involve in-depth research on a specific aspect of this topic, such as the relationship between foreign policy and foreign direct investment in terms of its impact on negotiating and signing agreements on investment promotion and protection, or its impact on establishing partnerships, or its impact on increasing the profitability of investment projects...
