Abstract: At the time of the Indochina War, two dynamics of French foreign policy collided namely the construction of Europe and the struggle to preserve sovereignty in the Far East. After the pivot towards Europe, France tried to maximize its central place among European partners to Europeanize its Vietnamese policy. The objective was to continue the transition to diplomacy more adapted to French means while presenting to the Vietnamese interlocutors a large-scale partnership throughout the European Community. Through this process, France wished to remain the essential link in the cooperation, which it was otherwise seeking to confine to the intergovernmental level. The common European orientations towards the Vietnamese stakeholders between 1973 and 1975 finally led the Nine into paralysis. This only came to an end with reunification and the proclamation of the Socialist Republic of Việt Nam which allowed the establishment of multiform cooperation.
