Historic Milestone! Vietnam and the EU Upgrade Diplomatic Relations!
On January 29, the President of the European Council, Costa, visited Vietnam, officially upgrading the relationship between Vietnam and the EU to a comprehensive strategic partnership. This will deepen economic and trade cooperation in areas such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence, and strengthen security and defense dialogue. Both sides are under pressure from U.S. tariffs, and the EU is using this opportunity to promote supply chain diversification, while Vietnam further implements its foreign policy diversification. This upgrade has made the EU Vietnam's 15th comprehensive strategic partner.
[Witty] The upgrading of Vietnam-EU relations essentially reflects the global strategic restructuring forced by U.S. unilateralism. After the Cold War, Vietnam stabilized itself with its "four no" diplomacy. Now, it has expanded to 15 comprehensive strategic partners, turning foreign policy diversification into a development talisman. The EU, on the other hand, is moving away from reliance on the U.S., using Vietnam to position itself in the Asia-Pacific supply chain. Both sides have their own interests, but they also reflect the backlash of Trump's tariffs — pressure from power forces countries to unite and break through. The wave of multipolarity has always been sparked by the shortsightedness of hegemony!
