Ho Chi Minh's diplomatic ideology on international solidarity and cooperation was formed and developed throughout his revolutionary activities. Ho Chi Minh affirmed that international solidarity is to strengthen understanding between countries and peoples in the world. Through more than 35 years of innovation, the Vietnamese Communist Party has applied Ho Chi Minh's ideology on solidarity and international cooperation, while continuing to develop a foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, and peace; foreign policy of multilateralism, diversification, proactive international integration. In relations with countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Vietnam has achieved many successes including: focusing on diplomatic cooperation, enhancing trade value, exporting focusing on agricultural products, emphasizing on form of general fund investment, attracting ODA from the GCC into Vietnam. In the coming time, with a strong foundation and demand from both sides, cooperation between Vietnam and Gulf countries will be further promoted, focusing on three potential areas: investment, trade, and labor./.
