The Foreign Ministry said the visit will be made at the invitation of President
Nguyen Phu Trong.
Vietnam and India set up their diplomatic ties on January 7, 1972. In 2007, the
Vietnam-India relationship was lifted to strategic partnership level, with a
focus on politics-diplomacy, national defence-security, economy-trade, energy,
science-technology and culture-education.
Following the Vietnam’s visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in
September 2016, both sides upgraded their strategic partnership to a
comprehensive strategic partnership to meet demand in the new situation.
In March this year, then President Tran Dai Quang and his spouse paid a State
visit to India. The visit helped materialise contents of the Vietnam-India
comprehensive strategic partnership while strengthening the bilateral
relationship.
