Moscow (VNA) – It is the courage and resolve of soldiers of the Vietnam People’s Army that contributed to the victory of the northern border defence war in Vietnam 40  years ago (February 17), said Russian Major General Viktor Demyanenko.

Hanoi, (VNA) – The northern border defence war in 1979 has demonstrated Vietnam’s strength and intelligence in critical situations. The art of command during that war is analysed in an article by Associate Professor and Doctor Ho Khang, former deputy director of the Vietnam Military History Institute. In early 1979, when the Vietnam People’s Army toppled the reactionary Pol Pot regime in Cambodia and helped the Cambodian people escape from genocide, the Chinese Government joined some Western countries in launching propaganda campaigns distorting the presence of the Vietnamese voluntary troops in Cambodia, with the aim of sabotaging Vietnam’s revolution and imposing its interest on the Indochina peninsula. As both political and diplomatic pressure failed to produce the desired goal, Chinese leaders mobilized around 600,000 troops along with hundreds of tanks and armoured vehicles to open a direct attack on February 17, 1979 on Vietnam along the full length of … [Read more...] about Art of command in 1979 northern border defence war

The second factor relates to external financial conditions. In 2020, central bankers across the globe are likely to keep their monetary policies the same as those pursued in late 2019. In such a context, continuous draconian cuts on interest rates may be out of the question. Conversely, there is a very low possibility that central banks will hike these rates.
