India and Vietnam traditionally share close and warm bilateral relations that are denominated as comprehensive strategic partnership. Mahatma Gandhi and President Ho Chi Minh, who led people in their struggle for independence in their respective countries, had exchanged messages with each other. India was the Co-Chairman of the International Commission for Supervision and Control formed pursuant to the Geneva Accord of 1954.
India initially maintained Consulate-level relations with the then North Vietnam (Democratic Republic of Vietnam) and South Vietnam, and later established full diplomatic relations with Vietnam on January 7, 1972. These multi-faceted relations have been developing steadily over time.
India-Vietnam relations were elevated in 2016 to ‘Comprehensive Strategic Partnership’ during the visit of the PM Narendra Modi to Vietnam; earlier, the relations were designated as ‘Strategic Partnership’. The development of India-Vietnam relations are guided by a “Joint Vision for Peace, Prosperity and People” adopted by PM Modi and the then Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc during the Virtual Summit held on 21 December 2020, as per Indian embassy in Vietnam.
PM Modi and General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong had telephonic conversation on April 15, 2022. In 2022, the two countries celebrated the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations and both countries are working together actively to further strengthen their multi-dimensional cooperation, as per Indian embassy in Vietnam.
