NEW DELHI: With both India and Vietnam
keen to expand their bilateral defence ties, a top Vietnamese military
delegation will be in town next week to discuss measures to bolster
cooperation in joint combat exercises, training and other related areas.
Led by Vietnamese Army's deputy chief of general staff Lt-General Pham Zuan Hung, the eight-member delegation will hold talks with Navy chief Admiral Nirmal Verma, Army chief Gen V K Singh and chief of integrated defence staff Vice-Admiral Shekhar Sinha, among others.
During the week-long visit, beginning from Monday, the delegation will also be visiting the Agra airbase and the new officers' training academy in Gaya. India has agreed to help Vietnam with intensive training in submarine operations and other related areas.
Both India and Vietnam are wary of China's "increasingly assertive behaviour" in the region. Defence minister A K Antony has promised all support to Vietnam to upgrade the capabilities of its armed forces.
India is supplying spares for the Russian-origin Petya class warships and OSA-II class missile boats of Vietnamese Navy, training its military personnel in information technology and English language skills, apart from holding joint exercises.
