The event was co-chaired by IDS Director Maj. Gen. Vu Cuong Quyet and CLAWS Director V.K. Ahluwalia.
The two sides exchanged views on regional and international issues of mutual interest and highly spoke of the strong and sustainable growth and the effectiveness of the Viet Nam-India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
They discussed policies and measures to reinforce the bilateral relations in the future, while emphasising practical moves made by the two countries to show support for each other amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Maj. Gen. Quyet said the Viet Nam – India relations have grown constantly despite impacts of COVID-19, with security-defence remaining one of the pillars of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
The webinar provides the two sides a chance to find ways to boost the bilateral defence cooperation, taking into account each nation’s situation, he said.
Ahluwalia, for his part, hailed the Government of Viet Nam’s measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus, with the major contribution from the Vietnam People’s Army. He voiced his belief that the two countries’ defence ties will continue to expand in the coming time.
