Prof. Vu Duong Ninh
Vietnam National University, Hanoi
Vietnam and the United States relations date back the event that Thomas Jefferson (American envoy in France, the US President after that) asked Prince Canh’s mission about Cochinchinese "beautiful, white, delicious and high yield" rice seed in 1788, more than 220 years ago.
The article addresses missed opportunities to establish friendship relations between the two countries during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including the devastating war intervened and conducted by the U.S lasting a quarter of a century (1950-1975).

The new page in the Vietnamese and the United States relations promises the hopes contributing to peace, cooperation and development in the Asia-Pacific region and the worldwide.

Given various sources of material, the paper presents and analyzes the typical struggles of the movement of workers in Saigon - Gia Dinh against "special war" of the U.S (1961-1965). The article draws three statements:
Firstly, in order to extinguish patriotism and the will to fight of the workers, pull them out of orbit revolutionary in the period 1961 - 1965, the Saigon government policy conducted through bribe, just terrorism, in that terrorism is primarily, but the movement of workers in Saigon - Gia Dinh has not been extinguished, whereas it is still developing continuously and aggressively, forcing the Saigon government and employers to resolve a number of workers’ claims.
Secondly, most of the struggle of the workers of Saigon - Gia Dinh in the years 1961-65, whether public sector workers have also initiated the participation or support of workers in other sectors and social classes. Class solidarity, solidarity of all social classes in struggle are costly lessons of the workers' movement in Saigon - Gia Dinh, in particular, for the workers' movement in the struggle for South Vietnam liberation and reunification.
Thirdly, movements of workers in Saigon - Gia Dinh played an important role in making the better situation in Saigon - Gia Dinh, contributing to bankrupt the "special war" strategy of the U.S in South Vietnam.
On the Visit of the Dutch Extraordinary Ambassador Willem Verstegen
to Hanoi in 1651
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan
Faculty of History
VNU- University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi
Prior to the middle of the seventeenth century, the Dutch East India Company had well established its foothold in Thăng Long (present-day Hanoi), the capital of the northern Vietnamese kingdom of Tonkin, and carried out the profitable Vietnamese silk-for-Japanese silver trade. Nevertheless, the arbotive military alliance in the years of 1642 and 1643 challenged the intimate relationship between the Dutch Company and the Lê-Trịnh Court. In order to ease down the tension and to facilitate this branch of trade, the Dutch Governer General in Batavia decided to send extraordinary ambassador Willem Verstegen to Hanoi in the summer of 1651. The mission was carried out successfully, as the Dutch ambassador was well received and generously treated by the Vietnamese rulers who also granted the Dutch factors residing in Thăng Long more trading privileges.
Upon his return to Batavia, the Dutch ambassador submitted a detailed report to his masters, depicting not only the Dutch business in Hanoi but, more importantly, miscellaneous information on various aspects of Hanoi. On the basis of data extracted from from Dutch archives, especially from Verstegen’s report, this article analyses the Dutch - Vietnamese relations in the mid-1600s and highlights some socio-economic aspects of early modern Hanoi.

Hue Monuments Conservation Centre
In the royal culture of the Nguyen dynasty (1802-1945), the mourning ceremony was among the most important activities of the ancestral worshipping belief that was paid special attention by the dynasty.
After the emperor passed away, the main ritual steps included: the initial dressing of the emperor’s corpse, the offering ceremony to the deceased and the re-dressing of the emperor’s corpse. The royal coffin would be moved to another hall to place for few months until the funeral was held. This hall would be the place for the royal posthumous table until the end of morning time.
The ritual process of royal morning ceremony under the Nguyen in Vietnam is presented in the paper and compared to that of the Joseon dynasty in Korea to affirm the identity in the Nguyen’s royal culture.
