Indien bietet 300 Millionen Dollar Kredit zur Stärkung der maritimen Sicherheit Vietnams an und bezeichnet sich als wichtigen Partner

SS: India on Thursday offered a $300 million loan to build up Vietnam’s maritime security, as the two sides said they want to double their trade and investment within five years.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi told visiting Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh that India considers Vietnam a key pillar of its policy toward Southeast Asian nations and an important partner in its Indo-Pacific vision.

After their talks, Chinh told reporters the world faces fierce security challenges but there are opportunities for cooperation.

“The Asia Indo-Pacific region is a locomotive for growth, but it is also where major politics is taking place fiercely,” he said. “We need an approach and methodology that is global and upholding multilateralism.”

The prime ministers said both sides wanted to further their cooperation in defense and other areas such as semiconductor and green technology, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and climate action.
