Earlier last week, India and Vietnam held a virtual summit between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Xuan Phuc. India and Vietnam have held a number of meetings and consultations this year leading up to the summit.
Modi, during his remarks at the summit, lauded Vietnam’s important role in India’s Act East Policy and as an “important partner of our Indo-Pacific Vision.” He highlighted the “long-term and strategic view” of the India-Vietnam relationship and the breadth and depth of their bilateral ties. He also underlined the importance of their shared purpose of “peace, stability and prosperity” for the Indo-Pacific region.
The leaders agreed that the
bilateral cooperation has advanced
robustly across all fields since the two nations set up diplomatic relations 25
years ago, especially in recent years.
They
expressed their belief that the bilateral ties will further deepen in a stable
manner, bringing benefits to both countries’ people, in which economic and
trade cooperation remains a focus and impetus of the relations.
A
strong, independent and prosperous Vietnam with an increasingly important role
in the region is the aspiration of the Vietnamese people and this is in line
with the US interests.
