Vietnam among top countries actually free from conflict
15/7/16
The Global Peace Index
(GPI) 2016 has revealed 10 countries in the world that are actually free from
conflict, including Vietnam.
The GPI listing was released by the Institute
for Economics and Peace (IEP) based on data over the past 10 years.
Accordingly, the 10 countries which can be considered completely free from
conflict are Botswana, Chile, Costa Rica, Japan, Mauritius, Panama, Qatar,
Switzerland, Uruguay and Vietnam.
The index showed that 81 countries have become
more peaceful over the past year, while the situation was seen worsening in 79
countries.
IEP measured global peace under three main
themes, including the safety and security of society, the level of conflict
domestically and internationally, and the militarization level.
In addition, the UK’s Independent news also
listed the worsening Middle East situation, the unresolved refugee issue and
increasing death toll due to terrorist activities as the main reasons making
security levels in the world drop./.

Vietnam was named among one of the most peaceful nations in the world.
Vietnam has made significant contributions to peace.
Although the country recently fought two wars it is now one of the most peaceful countries in Southeast Asia.
Vietnam has achieved stability through an economic reform that the world knows as “Doi Moi”.
Vietnam is always committed to peace and security in the region and the world and sets an example in military restraint.
I praise Vietnam’s success in maintaining peace through economic development, improving local people’s living condition and supporting other countries.
I still couldn’t help feeling ineffably overwhelmed by so many indelible memories of the benevolent tender hearted people, of the peaceful yet exotic sceneries, of incredibly amazing cuisines and a plethora of traditions the Vietnamese people have.
Vietnam epitomises a country of peace.
The 2016 Global Peace Index (GPI) recently ranked Vietnam 59th out of 163 independent states and territories.
I am deeply touched when envisioning a rapidly developed, beautiful and peaceful country in the next 20 years. People then would be friendly, civilized and well-behaved.
