“My visit to Vietnam is to nurture a relationship between our two societies and nations. The linkages between our two countries have deep historical and civilizational roots, going back over two thousand years. These cultural bonds reflect themselves in many ways, most prominently, the connection between Buddhism and the monuments of the Hindu Cham civilization. In recent decades, our shared and strong desire for the progress and prosperity of our peoples has shaped our ties. In India, we believe in sharing our knowledge, experiences and expertise with other developing countries. There can be no better example of this than in the success of our multifaceted bilateral cooperation with Vietnam over the last four decades,” this was the speech delivered by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Vietnam on 3 September, 2016. In the same speech, he further said: “As two partners, we must also take advantage of our synergies to jointly face emerging regional challenges, and to exploit new opportunities.
