This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of food security in Vietnam. The author identifies key stages in the transformation of the country's agri-food policy – from overcoming chronic food shortages during the Đổi Mới reforms to the current shift toward sustainable and nutrition-sensitive food system development. Particular attention is paid to the assessment of the four core dimensions of food security – availability, access, utilization, and stability – both in their historical dynamics and in the context of ongoing climatic and economic challenges. While Vietnam has achieved most of its national food security targets, the findings underscore that maintaining this status requires continuous state-level regulation and strategic adaptation. The results offer valuable insights for countries with comparable development trajectories in designing resilient food policies.

The article considers the formation of a new world order as a factor in the development of cooperation between Vietnam and key countries of the Global South at the present stage. The conceptual foundations and strategic goals of the foreign policy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in relation to the states of the Global South at the present stage are revealed. The article defines and analyzes the main regional areas of cooperation between Vietnam and key countries of the Global South, which include East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America. Within the framework of these regional areas of cooperation, attention is paid to such dimensions of international interaction as trade and economic, financial, transport and logistics, energy, digital, food, resources. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that there is an intensification of cooperation between Vietnam and a number of key countries of the Global South in modern conditions. Vietnam's interaction with these states can be viewed as a specific model, which is determined by the characteristic features of South-South cooperation, the peculiarities of Vietnam's own foreign policy, as well as the influence of certain global and regional processes that are a manifestation of the formation of a new world order.
