The Indian Navy (IN) will train 500 Vietnamese submariners in underwater warfare as part of the expanded strategic and defence ties between the two countries announced in New Delhi on 20 November.
"India will continue to assist Vietnam in modernisation and training of its defence and security forces, including through the USD100 million line of credit for defence purchases," Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said, during the visit by Vietnam Communist Party general secretary Nguyen Phu Trong to New Delhi.
The two leaders said in a joint statement that defence cooperation was a "significant pillar" of their strategic partnership. They also expressed satisfaction at the increased pace of defence dialogue, training and exercises, reciprocal ship visits and joint capacity building.
