(VOV) – Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung‘s forthcoming visit to India aims to further the strategic partnership between the two countries with a major focus on economic cooperation.
PM Nguyen Tan Dung will pay an official visit to India from October 27-29 at the invitation of his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.
The time-honoured friendship between Vietnam and India had formed from the first decades of the 20th century which was founded by late Prime Minister Jawaharlan Nehru and late President Ho Chi Minh and painstakingly cultivated by generations of leaders and people from both countries.
The two countries established diplomatic relations in 1972. India strongly supported Vietnam in the past struggle for national independence, and reunification as well as in the current Doi Moi (Renewal) and development process.
The Vietnam-India traditional relations have grown steadily through regularly exchanged visits at all levels, including President Truong Tan Sang‘s India visit in 2011, PM Dung‘s visit for a commemorative summit for the 20th anniversary of ASEAN-China Dialogue relations in 2012 and Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong‘s visit in 2013.
Meanwhile, Vietnam visits were conducted by Indian Vice President Hamid Ansari in 2013, Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj in August 2014, President Pranab Mukherjee in September 2014 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently visited Vietnam.
The two nations often hold regular meetings on cooperation mechanisms such as the Vietnam-India Intergovernmental Committee and the Joint Trade Subcommittee.
The Vietnam-India strategic partnership has blossomed in five areas: politics, economics, security-defence, science-technology and culture-education.
India attaches great importance to developing relations with Vietnam and Vietnam is considered an important pillar in its “Look East” policy.
On the basis of sound political relations, bilateral cooperation in a multitude of areas in other fields has also flourished. Two-way trade has increased over the years since both nations established strategic partnership in 2007.
