PM Chinh and Indian leaders reviewed bilateral ties and set orientations for the two countries to further deepen their comprehensive strategic partnership.

The two sides adopted a joint statement on strengthening the Vietnam-India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership aiming for higher political-strategic trust, deeper defence-security cooperation, more substantial and effective economic-trade-investment collaboration, broader cooperation in science-technology and closer cultural-tourism and people-to-people exchange. They also proposed priorities to materialise the goals.

The two sides approved a plan of action to implement their comprehensive strategic partnership in 2024-2028 and exchanged diplomatic notes on Vietnam’s joining the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI).

The two PMs launched a military software park in Nha Trang city in Vietnam’s south central province of Khanh Hoa.
