Professor Reena Marwah, Lecturer at Delhi University and Secretary-General of the Association of Asian Scholars said she believes that the visit further deepens Vietnam-India relationship and steers it into a more profound, substantive, and long-term development phase.
She noted that after 10 years, bilateral cooperation has expanded significantly from traditional areas such as defense, energy, and people-to-people exchanges to new areas such as digital transformation, green transformation, logistics, port development, innovation, and human resource development. From an economic perspective, combining Vietnam's production capacity, strategic location, and integration capabilities with India's technology, human resources, and market size can create new growth drivers for both economies.
Vietnam is shifting its growth model towards greater reliance on knowledge, technology, and innovation, opening significant opportunities for cooperation with India in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductors, software technology, high-tech human resource training, as well as emerging sectors like rare earth elements, strategic minerals, batteries, and Industry 4.0–5.0, according to Professor Reena Marwah.
