It’s the harmonious coexistence of the ancient and the modern that propels India’s global presence.

The Role of the Indian Community

The Minister highlighted the pivotal role played by the Indian community in Vietnam in strengthening the bilateral relationship. He acknowledged that cooperation between nations is fundamentally driven by people. As such, the Indian diaspora has been instrumental in fostering cultural exchange and economic cooperation between India and Vietnam. Their contributions span various fields, including business, education, and culture, serving as the glue that binds the two nations.

India’s Vision of Inclusive Growth

India’s expanding global presence and its ability to balance tradition and technology are key elements of its vision for inclusive growth. Jaishankar’s message to the Indian community in Vietnam resonates with India’s broader vision of fostering inclusivity, preserving cultural heritage, and embracing the boundless opportunities of the modern world.

Honouring Mahatma Gandhi and Exploring Partnerships

He emphasized the significance of Mahatma Gandhi’s values and beliefs in contemporary scenarios. Mahatma Gandhi’s contributions to truth, non-violence, independence, and freedom have been globally recognized, with his birthday celebrated as the International Day of Non-Violence.

Moreover, the External Affairs Minister met Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City Party Secretary, Nguyen Van Nen. He expressed his appreciation for the contributions of Ho Chi Minh City to the India-Vietnam partnership. This visit, initiated by his counterpart Bui Thanh Son, underscores the commitment to strengthen ties between the two nations.

In another significant gesture, the EAM unveiled the bust of Rabindranath Tagore in Bac Ninh province of Vietnam. The visit also featured a captivating performance by the Quan Ho Art Theater group.
