Cultural and economic links between India and Vietnam date back to 2nd century.[2][2] In contemporary era, relations between India and Vietnam have been governed by several areas of shared political interests.[3] India strongly condemned U.S. action during the Vietnam War and was also one of the few non-communist countries to show support for Vietnam during the Cambodian–Vietnamese War.[3]
In 1992, India and Vietnam established extensive economic ties, including oil exploration, agriculture and manufacturing.[3] The relations between the two countries, especially defence ties, benefited extensively from India's Look East policy.[4] Bilateral military cooperation includes sale of military equipment, sharing of intelligence, joint naval exercises and training in counterinsurgency and jungle warfare.[5] India also regularly deploys its warships for goodwill visits to Vietnamese seas.
Bilateral relations were upgraded to a "Strategic Partnership" during Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung's visit to India in July 2007, and upgraded to a "Comprehensive Strategic Partnership" during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Vietnam in September 2016.[1]
