The Free Trade Agreement between the Eurasian Economic Union and Vietnam, signed in May 2015, has special political significance for both Eurasian integration and Russian-Vietnamese relations. However, an important issue is the problem of the efficiency of this agreement for the Russian economy. Despite the high level of political contact between Russia and Vietnam, their economic interaction is still at a relatively low level. But at the same time, the FTA is often considered to be a factor that can impact positive influence on economic cooperation between Russia and Vietnam. Focusing on the political meaning of the EAEU-Vietnam FTA, the aim of the article is to research the role of Russian state administration in the development of the free trade zone.Th e author analyzes the activity of Russian state structures (the Ministry of Economic Development, the Russian Export Center, the Trade Mission in Vietnam etc.) in terms of their assistance in the realization of the FTA, considers the results of their work and makes conclusions on the future prospects of the free trade zone between the EAEU and Vietnam. Th e Russian state administration has taken part in organizing diff erent events (offi cial summits, roundtables, exhibitions, business forums), assisted in communication between the Russian and Vietnamese business communities, and provided information support. But despite some achievements by the FTA, there are still a lot of unsolved problems and so interaction between state administration and business seems to be a necessary condition for the improvement of Russian-Vietnamese economic cooperation.
The intensification of the rivalry between China and the United States for leading positions in the Asia-Pacific is projected onto other actors. India and Vietnam, among others, were involved in the US-China confrontation. Both of these states have disagreements with the PRC, but at the same time, cooperation with Beijing is an objective necessity for them. Under the circumstances, Hanoi and New Delhi are not only ready to balance Chinas rising power in the Asia-Pacific by strengthening ties with the US, but are also developing their own partnership networks beyond the great powers. This article examines the geostrategic aspects of cooperation between Hanoi and New Delhi. Special attention was paid to trade, economic and defense ties of both countries. At the same time, the paper provides an analysis of the Indian-Vietnamese partnership in the context of territorial disputes in the South China Sea. The provisions and conclusions given in this article are based on official documents and news agency reports, as well as research works of Russian and foreign scholars.
: Cooperation with ASEAN is one of key elements of the initiative of the Greater Eurasian Partnership. There are some important preconditions for development of this interaction (the role of ASEAN in the Asia Pacific, the Russia – ASEAN strategic partnership, free trade agreements between the EAEU and ASEAN member-states). At the same time, despite some steps for expansion of cooperation with ASEAN in Eurasian format, now it’s possible to talk only about a preliminary period of involvement of ASEAN into the Greater Eurasian Partnership.
Вьетнам играет важную роль в российской политике в Азиатско-Тихоокеанском регионе. Военно-техническое сотрудничество занимает особое положение в российско-вьетнамских отно-шениях. Целью статьи является выявление особенностей военно-технического сотрудничества между Россией и Вьетнамом, а также вызовов и возможностей, которые оно несет для Москвы.После распада СССР оборонное взаимодействие между Россией и Вьетнамом стало разви-ваться на коммерческих условиях. Вьетнам нуждался в новом российском оружии для обеспечения, прежде всего, своих интересов в Южно-Китайском море. Для Москвы военно-техническое сотруд-ничество с Вьетнамом приобрело экономическое значение. Однако впоследствии произошло уси-ление политической составляющей сотрудничества в этой сфере, на которую повлиял ряд внешних факторов.2000-2010-е гг. были отмечены расширением продаж российских вооружений Вьетнаму. Во многом это произошло под влиянием эскалации конфликта в Южно-Китайском море, в котором все большее значение стали играть американо-китайские противоречия. Военно-техническое со-трудничество с Вьетнамом повлияло на ряд аспектов политики РФ в регионе. В частности, повыси-лось ее косвенное вовлечение в конфликт в Южно-Китайском море.Продажа Россией оружия Вьетнаму стала одной из проблем в отношениях Москвы и Пекина, но они все же смогли преодолеть эти противоречия частично благодаря расширению двустороннего взаимодействия, которое включало демонстрацию схожей позиции по ряду аспектов конфликта в Южно-Китайском море. В рамках развития оборонного сотрудничества с Вьетнамом Россия смогла получить особый режим доступа к инфраструктуре гавани Камрань, что укрепило ее стратегические позиции в регионе. Сотрудничество Москвы с Ханоем в военно-технической сфере и общее усиление российского присутствия во Вьетнаме может также стать причиной противоречий с США.Ключевые слова: Вьетнам, российско-вьетнамские отношения, военно-техническое сотруд-ничество, Южно-Китайское море, Камрань
