At a gathering on Monday marking India’s 80th Independence Day, August 15, Dr. Vipra said the friendship had been nurtured by outstanding leaders, including Leader Mahatma Gandhi, President Ho Chi Minh, and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and has continued to grow stronger with each generation.
He said the strongest foundation for relations between nations is friendship between their peoples.
In Ho Chi Minh City, through cultural programs, educational exchanges, activities marking major national holidays, and enduring ties with India, the Vietnam-India Friendship Association of Ho Chi Minh City has helped bring India closer to local people.
The Indian Consul General expressed confidence that the Enhanced Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two countries will continue to deepen, supported by the two governments, businesses, universities, artists, younger generations, and, above all, friends of India in Ho Chi Minh City.
