The exhibition also introduces bilateral cooperation activities across all spheres, including economy, politics, defence, security, trade-investment, science-technolgy, and culture, among others.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Huynh Thanh Lap, Chairman of the municipal Vietnam – India Friendship Association, said over the past time, India has always supported Vietnam’s causes of national construction and development.
Lap said despite the impact of COVID-19 in the past two years, the countries still sustained their high-level and all-level exchanges and issued the Vietnam-India Joint Vision Statement for Peace, Prosperity and People in December 2020.
The nations also gave each other valuable support to overcome the pandemic and recover their economies, including their agreements on opening direct flights between their capitals and big cities, he added.
Echoing the view, Indian Consul General to HCM City Madan Mohan Sethi hoped that the sides would further strengthen their collaboration in health, education, and culture, among others./.
