50 năm quan hệ ngoại giao Việt Nam - Nepal (1975 - 2025): Thành tựu và triển vọng

The year 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Viet nam and Nepal (1975 - 2025), an important milestone in the development of friendly relations between the two countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia. Over the past half-century, the two nations have maintained stable political and diplomatic ties, strengthened coordination and mutual support in multilateral forums, and grad ually expanded cooperation in areas such as economy, culture, education, tourism, and people-to-people ex changes. However, compared to the potential and expectations of both sides, bilateral cooperation remains modest and not yet commensurate with their strong political relations. Based on a review of the historical re lationship and an assessment of achievements and limitations after 50 years establishing diplomatic relations, the article analyzes future prospects for Vietnam - Nepal cooperation in the new context and proposes policy implications to promote more substantive, effective, and sustainable bilateral relations.
