The writer said he hopes the book will provide Romanian friends and people around the world with a better understanding of Vietnam and its people.
The 566-page book in the Romanian language consists of 11 chapters, providing basic information and in-depth analysis related to the country, people, history, and cultural values of Vietnam, victories of the Vietnamese military and people in the past as well as their great successes in socio-economic development, politics, diplomacy, and international integration today.
It is worth noting that in Chapters 5 and 6 of the book, Suian demonstrated his deep understanding of Vietnam’s foreign policies, particularly regarding the East Sea (South China Sea) issue. He also expresses admiration for Vietnam's approach for dealing with this matter.
The author also spotlights the achievements of Vietnam's clever and flexible foreign policy in maintaining and developing relationships with major partners such as the U.S., China, Japan, Russia, and France, and neighboring countries like Cambodia and Laos, thus contributing to ensuring political and social stability and making breakthroughs in economic development.
He expresses his support for and highly values Vietnam's standpoint on resolving disputes and differences through peaceful measures, based on international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) 1982.
The book also emphasizes the ample evidence and legal basis that Vietnam possesses regarding its sovereignty over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly), as well as the necessary role of the international community in ensuring maritime safety and freedom in the region.
