Hanoi (VNA) – National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines and India's Innovation India on July 31 signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on collaboration in enhancing the two countries’ economic, investment, cultural, and tourism connections.

Under the MoU inked in New Delhi as part of a Vietnam-India business forum, the sides are scheduled to co-host the NAMASTE Vietnam Festival in late August in Ho Chi Minh City. This festival will feature trade, culture, and tourism workshops, along with art performances, providing a platform for business and community engagements between the two nations. Additionally, their partnership will support the production of the first joint India-Vietnam film titled "Love in Vietnam."

This cooperation is expected to deepen bilateral cultural understanding and ties as well as tourism and trade exchanges, creating new opportunities for Vietnamese and Indian businesses and investors.

Nguyen Chien Thang, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Airlines, stressed the importance of the Indian market for the airline and expressed his delight to partner with Innovation India to foster exchanges between the countries.

Besides operating direct flights, the carrier has been actively promoting Vietnamese tourism in India, he said, adding that it will expand its flight network, enhance service quality, and explore new cooperation opportunities with Indian partners.

At the event, Vietnam Airlines showcased its brand, service offerings, and networked with Indian firms.

To meet the growing travel demand between the two nations, the airline currently operates four weekly flights between Hanoi and New Delhi, three between Ho Chi Minh City and New Delhi, four between Hanoi and Mumbai, and three between Ho Chi Minh City and Mumbai.

A representative from Vietnam Airlines noted that with nearly 1,900 flights and 280,000 passengers served, the carrier has played a crucial role in promoting exchanges between Vietnam and India. This success is attributed not only to its efforts but also to the strong cooperation between the governments of the two countries, paving the way for future growth and development./.
