"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4761063\" data-originallang=\"en\">Those are very good questions, and very difficult questions too. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4761064\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is very difficult for our country. Vietnam and China are very close geographically, and it's good because China is a very big market. It's our biggest market for Vietnamese imports and exports. But because of the historic reasons between Vietnam and China, there exist some differences, particularly the disputed territory in the South China Sea. We call it the Eastern Sea, not the Southern Sea.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4761065\" data-originallang=\"en\">That's why we advocate a foreign policy of bilateral relations and multilateralism. We need to have good relations with China, but we also need to have good relations with other major countries and regions, even countries far from, and not in, our region. So now we have established a partnership with 15 countries, and we have comprehensive partnership with 10 countries. That's our policy. It would take a long time to explain to you how it went, but I think that in essence is our main foreign policy in dealing with the neighbouring countries, and also in dealing with a major power. I hope that you get my point. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4761066\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4761063\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce sont l\u00e0 d'excellentes questions, qui sont \u00e9galement tr\u00e8s difficiles.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4761064\" data-originallang=\"en\">La situation est tr\u00e8s difficile pour notre pays. La grande proximit\u00e9 g\u00e9ographique du Vietnam et de la Chine est une bonne chose, car la Chine est un immense march\u00e9. C'est notre plus grand march\u00e9 d'exportation et d'importation. Mais pour des raisons historiques, il existe des diff\u00e9rends entre les deux pays, en ce qui concerne notamment le territoire qu'ils se disputent dans la mer de Chine m\u00e9ridionale, que nous appelons mer du Sud. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4761065\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voil\u00e0 pourquoi nous pr\u00e9conisons une politique \u00e9trang\u00e8re favorable aux relations bilat\u00e9rales et au multilat\u00e9ralisme. Nous devons entretenir de bonnes relations avec la Chine, mais nous devons \u00e9galement avoir de bonnes relations avec d'autres pays et r\u00e9gions importants, m\u00eame s'il s'agit de pays \u00e9loign\u00e9s de notre r\u00e9gion. Nous avons donc \u00e9tabli un partenariat avec 15 pays et nous avons un partenariat global avec 10 pays, conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 notre politique. Il me faudrait beaucoup de temps pour vous expliquer comment les choses se sont d\u00e9roul\u00e9es, mais je pense que cela pr\u00e9sente essentiellement notre principale politique \u00e9trang\u00e8re \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard des relations avec les pays voisins et une grande puissance. J'esp\u00e8re que vous me comprenez.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4761066\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci.</p>"
