Vietnam, India to strengthen multi-faceted cooperation

Vietnam and India will promote their all-round cooperation, especially on economy, trade and investment, contributing to peace and development in the world, said top legislators of the two countries on Friday.

During the talks between Chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong and visiting Speaker of the House of the People (Lok Sabha) of the Indian Parliament Somnath Chatterjee on Friday, the two sides agreed to strengthen delegation exchanges, share experience in the legislatures' activities and support each other in regional and international forums.

Vietnam wants to share experience with India in the fields in which India has strength, such as biotechnology, information technology, and education and training, Trong said.

Chatterjee, who started his six-day visit to Vietnam on Thursday, said the two sides should beef up their cooperation in the fields of trade, science and technology in the framework of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and other multilateral forums for the benefit and development of the two sides.
