Vietnam wishes to learn from Indian development experience as it enters new era
Vietnam is advancing with a strong sense of strategic autonomy, resilience and confidence as it enters a new phase of development, and seeks to exchange experience with India - a rapidly rising major power.
The statement was made by Nguyen Xuan Thang, Chairman of the Central Theory Council and President of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics at a meeting with Indian Ambassador to Vietnam Tshering W. Sherpa on November 25.
At the reception, Thang commended the progress of bilateral cooperation, particularly since the elevation of ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2016. He highlighted the academy’s pride in hosting the India Research Centre, a joint initiative of the two countries’ leaders that underscores Vietnam’s high regard for the relationship.
He noted that Ambassador Sherpa’s tenure begins at a significant moment as both countries prepare to commemorate the 10th anniversary of their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and proposed that the two sides co-organise a workshop to review the decade-long cooperation framework.
Ambassador Sherpa said the two countries share a common vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific. He put forward several proposals to deepen cooperation with the academy, including convening a conference to review the 10-year partnership, developing specialised capacity-building programmes, co-publishing a commemorative book, and inviting the academy’s leadership to visit India.
The ambassador reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening collaboration between the academy and Indian partners.
