10. Summary of the results of the thesis: The topic "Religious conflict in Southern Thailand from 2014 to 2020" is studied in 3 chapters. In chapter 1, the author analyzes the history and causes of religious conflict in Southern Thailand, including the history of the conflict formation process through two stages from before 2004 and 2004 to 2014 and the accompanying causes. Based on the influencing factors combined with international relations research methods, along with dialectical scientific thinking, in chapter 2 the thesis focuses on studying the issue of religious conflict in Southern Thailand in the period from 2014 to 2020, through the statistics of prominent events and issues accompanying the development of extremist Islamic groups, and at the same time analyzing the measures to solve the problem of the Thai government.
Finally, based on the study of the current situation, the thesis makes comments on the impact of the issue on the ASEAN region in general and Vietnam in particular; thereby, making forecasts and policy recommendations for Vietnam in solving similar issues.
11. Practical applicability: The study of this topic contributes to providing documents on a current emerging issue of terrorism and armed conflicts related to religion, and also serves the research work on policies to solve similar problems for Vietnam. When in recent years in Vietnam there has not been a systematic and comprehensive research work on religious conflicts in Southern Thailand, this topic will meet and supplement the missing areas in the study of international relations in Vietnam. Moreover, Thailand's policies in the process of resolving prolonged conflicts will also be a valuable lesson for Vietnam, especially when religious terrorism is a relatively new issue for Vietnam.
12. Further research directions: Continue to monitor and study the dynamics between the parties in this persistent conflict; or expand the scope of research on religious conflicts in the Southeast Asian region.

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis: The thesis “Religious conflict in Southern Thailand from 2014 to 2020” is studied in 3 chapters. In chapter 1, the author analyzes the history and causes of religious conflicts in Southern Thailand, including the history of conflict formation through two periods of time: before 2004 and 2004 to 2014, as well as the causes for each stage. In chapter 2, based on the investigating factors combined with international relations research methods and dialectical scientific thinking, the thesis focuses on studying the issue of religious conflicts in Southern Thailand from 2014 to 2020 through the statistics of prominent events and issues accompanying the development of radical Islamic groups, and at the same time analyzing the government's problem-solving measures. Finally, on the basis of studying the current situation, the thesis makes comments on the impact of the issue on ASEAN region in general and Vietnam in particular; making forecasts and policy recommendations for Vietnam in dealing with similar issues.
12. Practical applicability, if any: The study of this topic contributes to documenting a current emerging issue of terrorism and armed conflict related to religion, and also serves the research of policies for Vietnam when facing similar issues. While in recent years there has not been a systematic and complete study of religious conflicts in Southern Thailand, this topic will meet and supplement the missing areas in international relations research in Vietnam. Moreover, Thailand's policies in the process of long-term conflict resolution will also be valuable lessons for Vietnam, especially when religious terrorism is a relatively new issue for Vietnam.
13. Further research directions, if any: Continue to monitor and study the dynamics between the parties in this persistent conflict; or expand the scope of research on religious conflict in Southeast Asia.
