[For the entire collection see Zbl 0722.00002.] Let \(K\) be a non-Archimedean non-trivially valued complete field and \(E\) be a non-Archimedean named linear space over \(K\), the norm on \(E\) satisfies the strong triangle inequality \(\| x+ y\|\leq\max(\| x\|,\| y\|)\), \(x,y\in E\). In this paper, the author studies the bounded weak topology \(bw\) and the bounded weak star topology \(bw'\) on \(E\) and \(E'\) respectively, where \(E'\) is the dual space of \(E\). The author has proved that \(bw\) is the strongest locally convex topology on \(E\) for which each norm bounded set is a compactoid and that \(bw\) is of countable type. Similar results have been established for \(bw'\). Further the author proves that if \(E\) is a polar \(K\)-Banach space then \(bw'\) on \(E'\) is the topology of compact convergence.
