Addressing the inaugural ceremony, Indian Ambassador to Vietnam Parvathaneni Harish said the plant has demonstrated cooperative ties between Vietnam and India.
Trade turnover between the two countries increased from 7.8 billion USD in 2016 to 14 billion USD last year, of which 20 percent came from farm produce, he said.
