Summary of the results of the thesis: The thesis topic "The perception of Ho Chi Minh City residents on the role of ASEAN for Vietnam" is structured into three parts, with the results reflected through the following main contents: Chapter I: Vietnam and ASEAN Chapter 1 provides an overview of the relationship between Vietnam and ASEAN over the years and the role of ASEAN in the development of Vietnam since Vietnam became an official member in 1995. The role of ASEAN for Vietnam is specifically analyzed in three important areas: security-politics, economy and culture. Chapter II: The perception of Ho Chi Minh City residents on the role of Vietnam In this chapter, we conduct a survey on the perception of Ho Chi Minh City residents, represented by students of social sciences and humanities, on the role of ASEAN in the development of Vietnam. For the convenience of comparison and evaluation in Chapter 3, we quantify students' perceptions based on the division into fields: security-politics, economy, culture. In addition, we also survey the level of influence of ASEAN through students' perceptions of ASEAN and its impact. Chapter 3: The role of ASEAN in the development of Vietnam Chapter 3 focuses on re-evaluating the role of ASEAN in the development of Vietnam as a member country based on comparing the views of scholars and students' perceptions of this content. In addition, we explain the objective and subjective reasons leading to the difference in views of the two groups of respondents. From there, we propose possible solutions to bring ASEAN closer to the people and also to help people know more about ASEAN, contributing to building a strong and sustainable regional community. 11. Practical applicability: valuable reference for policy makers and researchers 12.

Summary of the findings of the thesis: Chapter 1: Vietnam and ASEAN Chapter 1 is about Vietnam-ASEAN relations before Vietnam became the member of ASEAN in 1995. This chapter also discusses the role of ASEAN in Vietnam's development as one of its members. This role is analyzed in three key co-operation fields: security-politics, economics and culture. Chapter 2: Role of ASEAN in Vietnam's development: perceptions of people in Ho Chi Minh City In this chapter, we conducted a survey investigating perceptions of people in Ho Chi Minh City, the chosen target group is students studying social sciences and humanities, about the role of ASEAN in Vietnam's development. For the purpose of comparison, we also divide the perceptions of people living in Ho Chi Minh City into 3 key fields of perceptions. Moreover, we also investigate the influence of ASEAN and its impacts or ASEAN images in the perceptions of this group of students. Chapter 3: Role of ASEAN in Vietnam's development Chapter 3 focuses on re-evaluating, evaluating the role of ASEAN in Vietnam's development as its member state. The evaluation bases on comparing the perceptions of scholars and perceptions of students living in Ho Chi Minh City. Besides, we try to find out the objective and subjective causes which lead to the differences in the perceptions of these two groups. Thus, we propose possible solutions to bring ASEAN closer to its people, contributing to building a strong and sustainable community. 11. Practical applicability, if any: references 12.
