Bilateral relations between India and Vietnam are characterized by strong bonds of friendship based on cultural, religious and economic ties dating back to 2nd Century AD.
The influence of Indian civilization speaks of the deep-rooted historical linkages between the two nations. India-Vietnam relations have been strengthened in recent years due to a vibrant economic relationship and growing convergence on security issues. Last year, during the official visit of Indian Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi to Vietnam, the relations between the two countries were elevated to the level of Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.  Strong defense cooperation is a vital component of our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. 
In Jun 2016, Indian Defence Minister visited Vietnam which was followed by the visit of Vietnamese Defence Minister to India in Dec 2016.  Chairman, Chiefs of Staff Committee and Chief of Naval Staff, Indian Navy is scheduled to visit Vietnam in the first week of Oct this year.
The Indian Navy has had extensive interactions with Vietnam People’s Navy, particularly in the field of training, repairs, maintenance, and logistics support aimed at capacity building. The last visit by Indian Navy ship to Vietnam was in May 2016, when two of its ships visited Cam Ranh international port.
The current visit seeks to enhance maritime cooperation between the Indian Navy and the Vietnam People’s Navy and will further bolster the strong bonds of friendship between the two countries and contribute to security and stability in this vital part of the world.
