Viet Nam, India summit draws media interest
India’s “The Statesman” newspaper on July 5 run an article “West Bengal seeks cooperation in fisheries with Viet Nam”, saying India is eager to work closely with Viet Nam in the fields of aquaculture, dairy farming, and agriculture.
"We want our dairy and fisheries to be developed in collaboration with Viet Nam. They have a great capacity to develop aquaculture. Nobody can match their standards in the production of crabs," West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee was quoted as saying.
The UK's BBC radio said a large portion of enterprises present at an India-Viet Nam business forum that was attended by PM Dung relayed plans to invest in Viet Nam. A prominent contract between India-based APTECH, a global learning solutions giant and FPT of Viet Nam that will see over 20 IT training centres opened in Viet Nam, exemplified the interest that the Indian firms have in the country.
Radio France International (RFI) on July 5 also aired a bulletin saying promoting relations with Viet Nam is an integral part of India’s “Look-East” policy.
Viet Nam is an attractive destination for Indian investment, the radio said, because of the country’s socio-political stability and fastest growing economy in Southeast Asia.
The Straits Times of Singapore also said PM Dung’s visit, which will lead to a joint statement between the two countries on July 6, would help raise Viet Nam-India bilateral relations to new heights.- (VNA)
