Munich Security Conference 2026 has laid bare a stark reality: the unipolar world order of the post–Cold War era is disintegrating, while a stable multipolar order has yet to take shape.

According to international observers, the formation of the US-led sub-multilateral security mechanisms QUAD, AUKUS, and other "trilateral, quadrilateral" security cooperation mechanisms can increase the risk of US-China confrontation and affect ASEAN's centrality in the regional security structure as shown through ARF, ADMM, ADMM+, etc. The risk of "securitising" cooperation areas will increase with the increasing momentum of strategic competition between major powers.

In 1971, under the Party’s sound leadership, our military and people defeated the enemy’s large-scale operations, “pacification” plan, and strategy of “Vietnamisation” to create advantages and strength for the South revolution. 50 years have elapsed, but that leadership remains valuable and should continue to be studied and applied to the war to defend the Homeland (if occurred)
