In his speech, Indian Minister of External Affairs Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said India always considers Viet Nam an important partner and wished that bilateral ties would become increasingly closer, contributing to peace, stability and development in the region.
He also hoped that the two nations would tap their potential to support economic development in each country.
Chairman Hue said Indian political parties support friendship with Viet Nam. Over the past five years, important achievements have been made in all pillars of the bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership.
He said the two countries share similar viewpoints on strategic issues and highlighted the need to maintain peace, maritime and aviation freedom in line with international law and the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The top legislator affirmed Viet Nam’s policy of treasuring ties with India and supporting India’s Act East policy. Viet Nam backs India’s bid to become a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council when the organ is expanded, he said.
He also proposed the two nations work closely together to carry out the 2021-2023 Action Programme for bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership as well as the Joint Vision Statement for Peace, Prosperity and People.
