Abstract

Abstract. From the beginning of the 21st century to the present, Southeast Asia has become a hotbed of strategic rivalry among major countries, such as Japan, India and China - the three largest, most influential and important countries in Asia. The strategic rivalry of these three big countries has had great influences on relations among countries in the region as well as relations between Japan, India and China with each country in Southeast Asia, including Japan - Vietnam relations. Basing on the clarification of a number of influencing factors, the article focuses on analyzing and explaining the strategic rivalry between Japan, India and China in the region and its influences on Japan - Vietnam relations from the beginning of the 21st century to the present as well as the prospects for the relations in the coming time.
