III. History and development of FIPAD

The Faculty of International Politics and Diplomacy was officially established pursuant to Decision No. 1403/QĐ signed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on September 12, 1998. However, its foundations were laid in 1959 with the establishment of the University of Diplomacy (the precursor to the current Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam), rooted in two initial subjects: History of International Relations and Vietnam’s Foreign Policy.

Accompanying the Academy’s development, the Faculty has continuously strived for growth, maintaining its position as the country’s most prestigious training unit for International Relations and Diplomacy officials. The Faculty currently possesses a high-quality team of tenured faculty members who have been formally trained in advanced nations and reputable domestic educational institutions.

Moreover, the Faculty receives teaching cooperation from many leading experts in the field of IR and diplomacy, including Ambassadors, veteran diplomats, current and former leaders of agencies directly involved in foreign affairs within the Vietnamese political system, as well as experienced researchers from both domestic and foreign research institutions.
