OUTER SPACE IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND THE ISSUES ARISING FOR VIETNAM'S NATIONAL SECURITY
On April 7, 2026, the world witnessed the Atemis II spacecraft, carrying a crew, break the record for the closest approach to the Moon. Returning humans to the vicinity of the Moon affirms America's technological capabilities and leadership in the new space era. This mission takes place amidst a heating up space race among major powers such as the US, China, and Russia, forcing nations to choose different frameworks for cooperation. Furthermore, there are growing concerns about the potential for increased geopolitical tensions in space and an arms race in space between nations, threatening future international order, peace, and security. It is clear that space has emerged as a hot topic in international relations, with multifaceted and unpredictable impacts on the defense, security, and foreign policy of nations, including Viet Nam.

BREAKING:
🇻🇳 Vietnam officially finds cure for blood cancer - leukemia
Due to the urgency of the girl's case, there was no time for lengthy testing.
In a hospital in Vietnam, a 12 year old girl was very sick with blood cancer (that's leukemia)
The cancer kept coming back, even after strong medicine and a special gift of blood cells from her dad was given to her.
Then the doctors decided to try something new called CAR-T treatment.
They took some of the girl's own fighter cells ( that's the ones that help fight sickness) out of her blood. They sent those cells to medical scientists in Taiwan.
When the cells arrived, these scientist gave the fighter cells a special lock that could find and stick only to the bad cancer cells.They made millions of these fighter cells and put them back into the girl through a little tube in her arm.
The fighters then went looking for the cancer, found it, grabbed it, and destroyed it.
After some hard days with fever and doctors watching her closely, all the cancer disappeared.
She became the first kid in Vietnam to get better this way. When other treatments didn't work, her own body, with a little help, became the hero that saved her.
Now other sick kids and even adults alike might have this same chance too.
This is an huge breakthrough in the medical world.

In the core–mantle decoupling theory, large waves like these are possible. This is also described in the crustal displacement theory discussed by Chan Thomas in his book, and can occur during geomagnetic excursions.
The Sumerian flood of Utnapishtim, the Biblical flood of Noah, the Hindu flood of Manu, and the Greek flood of Deucalion might all describe the same event. This is cyclical!
CLIMATESECURIRY IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
The book "#ClimateSecurity in International Relations" by Dr. Nguyen Viet Lam @lammofa mentioned the basic theories of climate security, the reality of climate change in some countries around the world, the awareness and actions of many countries on this issue, and at the same time provide specific approaches in terms of the Party's viewpoints, policies, and laws of the State of Vietnam and recommendations to address and respond to climate change and security risks both in the current time and years to come.

Now Available!
The Conference Report on “ASEAN-IPR Regional Conference on Cybersecurity and the Role of Information Technology in Fostering a Culture of Peace in ASEAN” is now out!
This report is the outcome of our collective efforts to strengthen cyber resilience and promote peacebuilding in the digital age. It captures discussions among experts, policymakers, and practitioners from across the region on emerging cyber threats, the ethical use of technology, and strategies for safeguarding ASEAN’s digital future.
The report also explores key challenges, potential solutions, and policy recommendations for advancing ASEAN cybersecurity governance, and introduces a working definition of cyber peacebuilding—anchoring cybersecurity within a broader human security and peacebuilding framework.
We extend our appreciation to @rokmissiontoasean for their generous support through the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund (@akcf_pmt ), which made this initiative possible.
The digital age has shrunk the distances between us while expanding opportunities before us.
But every revolution casts a shadow: cyberspace has become fertile ground for criminals.
We must ensure that the digital age delivers peace, security, and prosperity for all.
