During 65 years of building, fighting and maturing, the VPA together with the people of Vietnam has gained a series of glorious victories winning major wars against foreign aggressors, contributing mightily to the people’s democratic revolution, regaining independence, and freedom, and reunifying the whole nation. This has set the country on a firm march toward building socialism, and realising the goal of “a wealthy people, a powerful country, and an equitable, democratic and civilized society.” Under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), the country’s comprehensive renovation has gained significant historical achievements. Despite all difficulties caused by the global financial crisis, natural disasters and internal economic weaknesses, the country’s socio-political situation remains stable; national defence- security has been strengthened; social order and safety have been maintained; and the international prestige and position of Vietnam have been increasingly improved. As a result, the new posture and strength for building and safeguarding the Homeland have been created. In the process of active and proactive international integration, under the complicated and unpredictable 7 conditions in the region as well as in the world, Vietnam has had great opportunities for cooperation and development while facing severe challenges and difficulties that may have negative impacts on the building and safeguarding of the Homeland.

Giap showed deep respect for Ho Chi Minh, who, having inspired the very liberation movement, took it to fruitful heights in Vietnam and encouraged Giap to take up the military task in fulfilling the long-cherished national goals. Giap, the most trusted lieutenant of Ho Chi Minh, discharged entrusted duties to him with at most devotion and dedication.

    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project RALPH MILTON BUCK Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial Interview Date: August 18, 2008 Copyright 2014 ADST Q: Let’s start at the beginning. When and where were you born? BUCK: I was born November 1944 in Oklahoma in the Baptist Hospital in Muskogee, Oklahoma. My parents lived in Stigler, Oklahoma, a small town in the eastern part of the state. Q: Let’s talk about your father’s side and sort of back up. Where did they all come from, what do you know about them? BUCK: My father was born in Missouri in 1894 but his family moved to Oklahoma when he was about two years old. My mother was born in 1905 in Oklahoma before statehood. She was born in Keokuk Falls, a place that according to her had three or more saloons on every block, but which no longer exists. It was also the birthplace of Jim Thorpe, the world famous Native American athlete. Q: What do you know on your father’s side? What were they, the Bucks up to? BUCK: The Bucks’ original ancestor came from Germany about 1730. His name was Christian Buck. He was a Lutheran minister, and he lived in Wytheville, Virginia, which is in the far western part of the state. His German name is believed to have been Buch. He first went to Pennsylvania, then to Virginia. The Buck family lived there for three generations. Some Bucks apparently still do. Eventually, one of the Buck boys, about the time of the Civil War, left and went to Texas where he married and had a son in 1865.

  • Russian Vietnamese Cooperation in Energy Sector
    Vestnik RUDN. International Relations 2018 Vol. 18 No. 4 906—924 Вестник РУДН. Серия: МЕЖДУНАРОДНЫЕ ОТНОШЕНИЯ http://journals.rudn.ru/internationalrelations DOI: 10.22363/231306602018184906924 RussianVietnamese Cooperation in Energy Sector Nguyen Thi Ngoc Lan, E.F. Chernenko Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University), Moscow, Russian Federation Abstract. The abundance of energy resources including renewables and non-renewables is central to the development of energy sector. However, other decicive factors like technology and human resources turn naturally-bestowed gifts into economic gains for properity. In the circumstance of being an invaded country in the 1950s, the young Democratic Republic of Vietnam prioritized formation of energy sector in the economic development plan to be more self-reliant in energy security for a harsh war against much more powerful enermies. A single international source of supports for the very young country at that time was communist allies. The Soviet Union assumed a major responsibility as the largest benefactor for the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the war-time. In addition to millitary and logistic aids for the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in North Vietnam to struggle with the US-backed Government of the Republic of Vietnam in South Vietnam for unification, the Soviet Union also actively supported it to implement the 5-year economic plans for socialism development including formation and development of the energy sector. In the post-war time, they continued to support the newly-unified country, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, to develop the energy sector as its spreadhead economic sector. The Russian Federation and Vietnam continue to deepen the bilateral cooperation in energy sector with the successful management of multibillion dollar joint-ventures in the oil and gas industry and implement many projects in the energy sector as a whole after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
