Authors: V. Thanupriyan & Dr. Santhosh Mathew

ABSTRACT

India and Vietnam share a strong relationship with a great deal of scope for deepening relations in the future. These relations have a history stretching back to 50 years of diplomatic ties since the 70s but to nearly 2000 years of interactions. During colonial times, people from both countries showed their sympathy and support to each other, and prominent leaders from both countries, like Jawaharlal Nehru and Ho Chi Minh, had personal contacts even before independence. India has also supported Vietnam in several wars in the past. India and Vietnam’s timeless friendship is a common feeling among international friends about India and Vietnam’s relationship. A study on the relationship between India and Vietnam in their past as well as in the present will help the two countries to understand more about each other, the values of their predecessors, as well as the efforts of the leaders of both countries. Since then, it has been a solid foundation for sustainable development in the future. Based on the studies of prehistoric documents as well as recent state relations of the leaders of the two countries. The article sheds more light on the good relations between the two peoples, the source of good relations at present and prospects for future development.

Keywords: Vietnam, Strategic Partnership, Cultural Exchange, Exploration, Peace pact.
