A book entitled “Traces of Indian
culture in Vietnam” by Indian writer G.Sharma has been made available
to the Indian public.
The book highlights the
time-honoured relations between Vietnam and India through the remains
of the My Son ancient towers and traces of Cham culture, which was
affected remarkably by Indian culture, Dr. Karan Singh, a well-known
philosopher and thinker, said at the launching ceremony on March 10 in
New Delhi.
He spoke highly of contributions made by G. Sharma, who is also the
president of the India-Vietnam Association in India’s East Bengal
state, to bolster understanding and friendship between the two
countries while calling on Indian people to strengthen ties with
Vietnam, especially in culture.
The cultural event drew the participation of India’s former Foreign
Deputy Minister Ashok Maheshwari, former Indian Ambassador to Vietnam
Jagdish Chandra Sharma, Dr. Harivansh Chaturvedi, director of “Cay da”
(Banyan Tree) publishing house, representatives of Vietnamese Embassy
in India and other diplomats of the two countries./.
